Sun Blast
A West Coast IPA with serious bitterness, loaded with juicy tropical hops: Citra, Mosaic, Cashmere and Polaris on a base of Pilsner, Wheat and Melanoidin malts. Raven calls it a one-way ticket out of reality with no end station in sight. Under Czech labelling it is a pale, top-fermented strong beer. Brewed at 16° Plato.
