Now that we’re clear of the dirge of winter, it’s time to kick ourselves into high gear and drop a big, and we mean BIG beer. QIPAs have always been a rarity in our output; a style so strong, and so heavily hopped that we keep it back to preserve its mystique.

With the advent of Spring being upon us, we felt there was no better reason to go back to this ultra-challenging style and Turning Fragile is the end result. With a beer this big, you need some serious balance, so a big addition of foundation hop Columbus is needed – touching a g/l in the whirlpool alone not too far away from the total g/l of some of our lower strength pale ales, a solid foundation needs some stupidity on the cold side, so why not go with a huge addition of hyper-concentrated Mosaic Lupomax, along with everyone’s favourite hype hop Nectaron?

A beer absolutely saturated in flavour – big passionfruit, pineapple, peach, tangerine and blueberry notes play off a bubblegum sweetness in this all out show of sheer alchemy from our brew team.
