Former Tenant
Former Tenant is the red IPA that made Modus known, named after the illegal hydroponic grower who occupied the Mona Vale warehouse before the brewery moved in. Specialty malts give a ruby-red colour and a savoury caramel backbone, balanced against a heavy dry-hop charge of Mosaic and Galaxy. Passionfruit and mango dominate the aroma alongside citrus peel and pine, followed by toffee, a firm drying bitterness and a slightly sweet finish.
