Big Bangin'
A West Coast-style IPA, rich golden in colour, brewed on Maris Otter malt and heavily hopped with Columbus, Mosaic and Simcoe. Tropical fruit leads the aroma and carries through on the palate, where it meets a firm, pronounced bitterness. The malt stays in a supporting role and leaves the tone to the hops. At 7.1% it is the strongest of the brewery's single IPAs.
