16 Rainbow of Death
Fruity, floral, spicy and smoky-earthy all at once: citrus, peach, melon, tropical fruit, gooseberry, apricot and coconut, closed by Columbus and Chinook with a spicy, smoky-earthy echo. Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook, Sorachi Ace and Columbus were added after the boil and twice cold into the tank. A strong, pale ale inspired by West Coast IPAs from the US.
