Xigantes
A double hop addition of five varieties gives this American IPA a powerful aroma of tropical fruit, citrus and pine, with melon, apricot, pineapple and mandarin in the flavour. The toasted, hazelnut-like malt then takes over in aroma and taste, leading to a balanced finish. Xigantes uses Centennial, Simcoe, Citra, Columbus and Vic Secret and is part of the year-round range.
