An American style hoppy beer brewed similar to Haka. American hops and an authentic Californian ale yeast combine to give a heady hop aroma and a chewy aromatic finish.

21st Aug 2015: hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons. Burnt orange body with a smooth, white blanket of foam for a head. Assertive hop nose and taste, bitter yet with a malty backbone which battled with the hops for attention and some sweetness against the acidic nature of those hops. Very pleasant, tasted stronger than the 4.5% ABV it claims to be.
