Bone Machine
Bone Machine is a modern American IPA at 6.2%, hazy in the New England manner, and has been part of the Whiplash range for years. All kettle hopping takes place in the whirlpool with Cascade, after which the beer is dry hopped twice with Ekuanot and BRU-1. Candied lemon leads the flavour, followed by ripe papaya and fresh pineapple. A clean, crisp bitterness holds the fruit in check and keeps everything in balance, so the beer remains easy to drink for its strength.
