A cross between two of our most popular beers Hula and In the Pines, this playful Pale Ale lends the warm tropical fruits of Mosaic and Summer hops to rich malts, giving a full flavour that ends with the crisp citrus and fresh pine of Citra and Simcoe. Bold, bright and complex. 500 ML BOTTLES ・ BOTTLED ON: 12/05/13 ・ BEST BEFORE: 11/11/13 ・ BATCH: 1 ORIGINAL GRAVITY: 1054 ・ FINAL GRAVITY: 1014 ・ IBU: 40 The malt bill is simply a blend of the ingredients used in Hula and In the Pines - a cross between a pale ale and an amber ale. It’s mostly Maris Otter Pale malt with a healthy dose of Munich. Then we added some Melanoiden and CaraGold for body and sweetness, along with a touch of Torrified Wheat to give at that nice lacey head. Our Malt comes from Warminster Maltings, a traditional Victorian floor malt house just down the road in Wiltshire. They produce the finest malts available and are a thoroughly nice bunch. There are quite a few hops in here, so plenty going on. During the boil we added a lot of Citra, famous for it’s potent, resinous tropical citrus flavours. We balanced that with Summer, a more gentle hop known for warm fruit flavours like melon and apricots, and Mosaic, a famously complex and intensely fruity hop. We then dry hopped with more Citra and Simcoe - a delightfully piney and plummy hop that has been a firm favourite at Wiper and True for years. Seems like we are not alone as it is getting more and more difficult to get hold of....
