For this juicy IPA we threw an abundance of Citra and Simcoe hops in to a very oat-heavy brew. Pineapple, orange and mango dominate the aroma whilst juicy apricot, mandarin and ripe mango tackle the palate. Huge sappy flavours takes the lead into a long, piney finish. =========================== The first brew was a collaboration with Siren Craft - the original amble: We all have heroes in life but it's not very often they come round your house to play on your brew kit. When Siren said they wanted to collaborate on a brew, we got to thinking what we loved about their beer and, after much arguing, we couldn't get past how consistently fantastic their core beers are. After much mumbling, we settled on a juicy IPA fermented on their house yeast. We threw lots of Citra, Simcoe, and Bravo at a very oat-heavy brew and this is the result. Pineapple, orange and mango dominate the aroma whilst juicy apricot, mandarin and ripe mango tackle the palate. Huge sappy flavours takes the lead into a long, piney finish.

150ml draught from a sample tray at Røør. Lacing rings from a diminishing white head, hazy golden body. Inviting floral, juicy smell. Fresh juicy taste as well, moments of lemon and grapefruit. Citrus peels to a decent bitter finish. Good drinking. (Oslo 04.11.2021).

Hazy deep orange body, okay foam. Aroma of melon, papaya, some pineapple. Taste is zesty melon, orange, papaya. Bitter dry finish that works. Enjoyable.

440ml can shared with Rod B @ Tap and Can. Pours a misty opaque gold, medium white head. Aroma of juicy stone fruit. Continues to taste, some grassy citrus, mango-led stone fruit, not too full on, not too sweet but has nice balance to it. Not bad.
