Fortunate Islands combines the bangin' hop aroma of an über-tropical IPA with the crisp, deeply quenching drinkability of a killer pale ale. We achieve this magical result by starting with a mild, nutty malt backbone, then dry-hopping the bejesus out of it with Citra and Amarillo hops. Restrained bitterness and vibrant notes of mango, tangerine, and passionfruit combine to form a sessionable crusher of mind-bending proportions. It tastes like wizards.

Clear golden beer, lively white head. A blend of citrus fruits for a bittersweet, grassy aroma.Flavour is similar, with tangy sweetness, a touch of sourness, some dry bitter hop, and a light malty taste beneath that. Lovely balance of tropical fruit, crisp and refreshing, excellent.

440ml can. Aroma is tropical hops but a little sweaty. Flavour is quite nice. Nutty, some pineapple and a nice restrained bitterness.
