We love to experiment with our illustrious Imperial IPA, Halcyon, using its great balance and flavour profile as a canvas to try out new ideas.

For this version, we have kept the hops, malts and water the same as usual, but utilised a completely different yeast variety. This time, we have selected a full-bodied Belgian strain, famous for the rich fruit flavours it creates within the beer; expect cherry and plum with whispers of cloves.

440ml can. Hazy, pale gold with a thin head that reduces to a smear. Smells of banana, bubblegum and orange candy. Tastes of overripe tropical fruit and funky Belgian yeast. Medium body, dry finish and an acidic mouthfeel. Halcyon is a great beer but this experiment shouldn’t have left the building. The Belgian yeast and the American IPA don’t sit comfortably together. 7.4% of confrontation.
