MC²
MC² is the double IPA the brewery calls its flagship, and the name nods to Einstein's equation: the recipe takes Photon's hopping rate and squares it. It pours a hazy tangerine colour and opens with bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple and apricot. On the palate it tastes of ripe mango juice layered with chewy hop resin, while the hop bitterness shows mainly at the end without any burn. At 8 % the alcohol stays well hidden behind the fruit.
