THIS BEER IS
This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full on attack on your taste buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness that lasts and lasts.

BREWER'S TIP
Some serious investment in equipment will be required here to get the beer down to -40°C in order to remove enough water. Steep the final beer with a handful of your favourite American hops for 12 hours before bottling.
