Dream Shake

Tap to rate

Golden, hazy American IPA with a white head of good persistence. Coconut, pineapple, grapefruit and resin stand out in a fresh aroma, alongside further tropical fruit. On the palate coconut and pineapple play the main parts, and grapefruit comes through as the glass warms. Oats in the grist lend a lightly silky texture.

◐ Taste

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
