As you’d expect from the style, it’s a very lean beer, with the malt playing a minor role so the four American hops, Citra, Amarillo, Chinook and Centennial, are allowed to shine. And that they do, with a medley of tropical fruit salad flavours from mango to melon all leaping from your glass. While bitterness does make its presence felt – and there’s also a slight hit of pine along the way – it’s very much an IPA of the fruit forward kind.
