Octopus Wants to Fight IPA
Burnt gold under a tight white head. The aroma opens on tropical fruit and turns herbaceous and piney. On the palate there is some sweetness, then dank grass, evergreen and fruit. The body is soft, with bitterness building through the middle before a firm close. The beer is left unfiltered, with Mosaic hops setting the tone and oats and wheat in the grist alongside barley malt.
