We’ve made India Pale Ales before (one or two), but until now we haven’t brewed a single one using the process which led to Hop Fiction. Not only is HP not dry-hopped, it isn’t kettle-hopped either; we have fired this IPA purely by wort and whirlpool hopping only. A huge, huge amount, as it turned out. The result is an upfront blast of mango, lychee and stone fruit, with a bitter, dry finish. It was a fascinating process to deploy – we think it has resulted in an equally fascinating beer.

Pours a very very light yellow body with big foaming white head that retreats
Big citrus and pineapple and burned match aroma
There's a nice malt base with good fruity flavours and bitter finish

Slightly hazy orange/yellow beer with 2-finger white head, moderate retention.
Smell - melon, citrus, tropical fruits, resin.
Taste - well balanced, moderate to high bitterness, dry finish.
Light body, soft to medium carbonation.
Drinkable and very good.
