Numbskull is our rotating Imperial IPA series, where we explore a new dominant hop bill with each batch. Our 12th expedition has uncovered a treasure trove of flavours. The Lotus hop , a hybrid of American & Japanese heritage , provides notes of zesty orange , silky smooth vanilla , and tropical fruit. It has been affectionately compared to the classic Orange Creamsicle dessert , providing a burst of citrus and sweetness with every sip

Love this rotating series and now feel nostalgic for the 650 ml bomber bottle - perfect sharing container!
Pours a clear orange golden colour with finger and a half of tight bubbly white head.
Aroma of citrus, tropical fruit - orange prominent - with some softer earthy notes.
Taste is sweet citrus up front, cereal malt - hint of caramel - tropical fruit and a soft earthy bitterness at the back - touch of booziness but never hot.
Medium full mouthfeel with decent carbonation - hoppy, sweet and with a sneaky smooth 9.1%.
