Our hop-forward CPA is an outright thirst quencher. Brewed to highlight Western Cape ingredients, it has a full golden colour, with generous Granadilla aromas accentuated by loads of dry hopping. Medium body with a refreshing red berry taste and zesty citrus finish.

Not much to look at, but I like the dank, grassy nose. This carries through to a very satisfying taste and mouthfeel. They did an excellent job with a lot of beer experience in a 4% abv.

Golden body is clear but not particularly crisp. Fuzzy white head that fades to a light cap with some accumulation in the corners and mild lacing.
Nose starts off with grassy hops, a little bit of straw to the sweet malts and maybe some floral accompaniment. Nice and refreshing
Flavour doesn't have the same light refreshing character, but is still enjoyable in it's own right. Dull earthy bitterness leads in without the light bright sweet spots from the nose. Still some grassy elements and dull citrus. Solid dull bitter finish.
Aggressive bright carbonation masks a medium to thin body. Long bitter earthy/pithy finish.
