With its 7.2% ABV, it stands out in a category that doesn’t aim for session drinking at all costs, but if you enjoy bold flavors, you’ll still find it hard to stop after just one. Resinous, fruity, and bitter: this is truly a characterful IPA.

Sensory profile

On the nose it is intense and aromatic: resin, fruit, and citrus emerge generously in a bold and recognizable bouquet. On the palate it is structured and bitter, with the 7.2% ABV noticeable but never overpowering. The bitterness is balanced and precise, the fruitiness harmoniously balances the resin. The finish is long, resinous, with a persistent bitterness that invites the next sip.
