Little Pleasures 3.2% Pale Ale A light, juicy Pale Ale that’s small on strength but packs a big punch of flavour. A delicate blend of Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe come together for a bright citrus aroma full of juicy fruits and a super soft drinkable body. Unity Brewing Co. May Provisions: EIPA 6% IPA A homage to the traditional English India Pale Ale using heritage Chevalier barley from Crisp Malt for a rich malty flavour with a hint of marmalade, and UK Challenger hops from Brook House Hops for spice and bitterness. Whiplash Beer Hot Pursuit 5% Pale Ale An initial aroma of bright tangerine and mandarin, pineapple, apricot and lemon. A honey malt base gives way to fruits - again mandarin, tangerine, white grape, apricots and lemons. Soft low bitterness, slightly sweet finish with a slight lingering of pleasant hop oil and tingling resin. Left Handed Giant Brewing Co. Breathing : Conversations 8% DIPA Collab with Finback.
