4% Session IPA
A session IPA showcasing the amazing new hop; Dolcita! Bursting out the glass with soft tropical aroma, think ripe peach, citrus zest and a hint of candied melon. The palate stays light and snappy thanks to the gluten-free malt base, letting layers of juicy stone fruit, caramalised pineapple and sherbet-like citrus do all the talking. Double dry-hopped with liquid Dolcita Spectrum and Dolcita hops, it's saturated but still dangerously drinkable. The finish is crisp, zesty and gently bitter, leaving a lingering citrus hum. Gluten free and vegan friendly.
