Unicorn IPA
Unicorn IPA pairs a strong malty body with New World hops at 5.2%. The hops bring citrus and floral notes that sit on top of the malt without hiding it, and the beer closes on an intensely bitter finish. Named after Scotland's national animal, it was among the first beers brewed when the Glasgow brewpub opened in 2016 and has stayed in the house range since.
