At 4.0% ABV this straw coloured IPA is considered by many to be their favourite Bushy’s Brew. It’s brewed mainly to be available during the two main motorcycle events (the TT end May/June and the MGP mid Aug /Sept). Named after the bike built by George Formby in the 1930’s film “No Limits” it’s a hoppy brew with that lovely floral aroma you get with dry hopping. I want a pint now!
