We’ve gone full throttle on this one. HopBurst isn’t just an IPA—it’s a full-blown hop experiment, engineered to blow your taste buds into next week. A mind-melding collab between Totally Natural Solutions and our Waterloo Outpost saw us take our crushable house pale, Waterloo Gold, and crank it up to a thumping 7.7%. Then, we handed the keys to the TNS crew and let them unleash HopBurst and HopGain:Floe. The result? A double-barrelled hop assault. With hot and cold side additions of El Dorado, Citrulicious, and Outback, we didn’t just squeeze more beer out of the tank—we maxed out the flavour dial. Think dank, resinous, and juiced-up fruit salad vibes, all wrapped up in a dangerously smooth, hazy IPA that drinks like a dream but hits like a heavyweight.

Keg at Brewdog Waterloo. Hazy-opaque amber. Thin white head recedes to the rim. Sweet and fruity, sugary aroma. A dank edge. Some dusty hops. Big and juicy with the edge taken off the sweetness by butter stone fruit and resin. A tangy hit into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something about that doesn't quite sit right for me. A tad unbalanced perhaps.
