HOPPY CHRISTMAS Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
Pineapple, citrus and papaya; single-hopped with Simcoe, Hoppy Christmas is an anti-festive IPA, redolent with summery flavours. Small caramel malt additions provide a touch of malt complexity. Simcoe, arguably our favourite hop, carries this beer - pine, tropical fruit and bitterness are its specialities.
