At times it’s worth remembering why we got into this game in the first place; the fun of beer and playing with recipes. The Mountain is our reminder to ourselves that above all else, our beer should be fun to brew and not a slog. Got a spare bucket load of Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Citra? Let’s bang em all together and create a bonafide hop bomb of a IPA. Going a little more heavy than usual on the hot side additions was the raison d’etre here, for no other reason than to just play around with the balance of our beers, and to check what would happen if we went a little lower on the cold side than usual. The result? Possibly one of our most balanced beers to date – positively bursting at the seams with tangerine, berries, pineapple, stone fruit and just a little whisper of pithy citrus bitterness to round everything off.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Hazy deep golden body with a white head that slowly fades. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and watermelon. Flavour of pink grapefruit sweets and mandarin. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Juicy and delicious, the flavour is fantastic.
