Hard Truth is an 8% Double IPA brewed with a large helping of Nelson Sauvin. A hop that is often at the top of my list for “desert island hops”. A show no-one would miss I’m sure.

Can. Hazy gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy pale malts, a light but decent creamy sweetness. Pretty decent Nelson hops, a nice light tangy gooseberry and mellow grape. I think I have tasted more decent Nelson this year than the previous 10 years put together. A little hop spice and a mild savoury skunk on the light finish. Very nice single hop dipa.
