We’ve gone for a full on tropical explosion employing a superstar three way lineup of the freshest El Dorado, Simcoe and Mosaic. This beer is positively bursting with a metric tonne of pineapple, stone fruit, watermelon, mango and just a hint of bubblegum sweetness to boot. Offset by a smaller than usual addition of both El Dorado and Mosaic in the whirlpool at 2 and 5kg respectively, this beer maintains a whisper of bitterness to keep everything in check and balanced.

We wanted to create a light, crisp, punchy, go to beer! A beer that you know you can pick up and appreciate or simply get it down ya neck.

Masses of hop additions during the whirlpool and a huge dose of dry hops make this a brilliantly 'easy' IPA.
