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.

New Country tick and IPA rating #300! My first beer from Hing Kong, so thanks a lot kappldav123 for making a new country tick possible! Golden colour with an amber glow, tall off-white head. Aroma of resiny-fruity hops. Full-bodied, good malty base with a grainy touch, lots of fruity hops, melon, grapefruit, peach and a resiny finish. Smooth palate. A goodie!

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.
