The Prequel
An intensely dry-hopped ale that pours hazy gold at full strength, laid out as a heavier answer to the brewery's flagship. Generous Galaxy additions push passionfruit, pineapple, mango and citrus well forward, and the hop character is loud without turning resinous. Bitterness is held back so the fruit carries, and the beer closes dry and crisp rather than sweet. At 6.6 percent the body is fuller than the finish would suggest.
