Tap to rate

Left To Roam is an Australian-hopped hazy IPA showcasing three new varieties: HPA-065, full of lime and pineapple with a spicy, saffron-like edge; HPA-4029, a little richer and more tropical; and Luna, first hybridised in 2003 and released in early 2026, with plenty of mango and dark berry. Together they give mango, berry and spicy citrus. The beer is brewed to 6.5% and is vegan.

◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes—lime and pineapple from HPA-065 blend with richer tropical character from HPA-4029, while Luna contributes layered mango and dark berry undertones. A subtle spicy, saffron-like edge weaves through the bouquet, adding complexity. Light, clean malt undertones provide a gentle foundation without obscuring the hop-forward expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit, transitioning into creamy mango and berry layers across the mid-palate. The three Australian hop varieties work in concert to deliver both juicy sweetness and a restrained spicy character; bitterness remains moderate at 50 IBU, providing structure without harshness. Malt sweetness is subtle and well-integrated, allowing the hops to remain the primary focus throughout.

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.
