A collaboration with Hawkshead Brewery, this fruit adjunct IPA was kettle soured for a bright acidity but also used lactose in the kettle to add body and sweetness. The beer was fermented with a mix of Brett Trois and our house US ale yeast to add a tropical fruity aroma and tart finish. We also used some hibiscus flowers in the hop back to augment the pink colour and add a berry note to the flavour.
