Aggressively dry-hopped, West Coast-style India Pale Ale with a freshness and balance that can only be found in a locally brewed beer. Its robust flavors sit on a rich base of malt, complimented by bracing bitterness, and the fragrant citrus, tropical fruit and pine aromas of some of our favorite American and Australian hops.

Huge thanks to my friends Carmen & Rainer for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. More and more hoppy, flowery, some grasy notes. Fruity like lemon, some melon hints. Well balanced finish, dry-hoppy, still with a fruity touch. Nice one!

On tap at Kowloon Taproom, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out sweaty, earthy hops, and crisp biscuity malt - pretty subdued and musty. Flavour is rather muffled, with a sort of earthy hop character and bready malt base. Lacking precision and not overly clean.

Bottle from Jason’s food hall, Kowloon. Poured a clear light golden colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is malt, piney, light citrus fruits, light fake sugar, dry hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, fresh, grainy, mineral, citrus fruit, light pepper spice, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
