Hand Selected Citra & Mosaic Triple IPA.
When you head into East Manchester, and slowly ascend the low rising hills surrounding our urban centre, you get glimpses of the city as it projects up between towers and houses.
Our city’s successes and renown stand on the shoulders of our great many communities. Cheers!

Pours a hazy, dark orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops, with notes of orange and papaya, as well as some dank and herbal accents. Taste is an excellent balance of biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly dank, herbal and resinous hops, with tropical, citrus and lighter berry notes of orange, grapefruit, papaya, lychee and blueberry, as well as some herbal weed and just a hint of pine. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some orange, papaya, lychee and herbal weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
Nobody in Europe does TIPAs like Cloudwater and this is another prime example of that, featuring incredibly vibrant and refined hop characteristics without feeling too sweet or boozy at all. In fact, this has a kind of dry and bitter character to it, with a distinct dankness, hints of pine resin and juicy tropical, citrus and berry notes that really portray Mosaic and Citra in all of their glory, with a great body and mouthfeel as well. Overall, this makes for a fantastic TIPA that features all of the styles strengths without any of its weaknesses, a big, bold hop bomb without a hint of booze to it.

Pours a murky orange with fine, soft head.
Smell is dank and juicy with notes of melon, peach, weed, mango and a bit of sweetness.
Taste is juicy, dank sweet and intense. Notes of melon, citrus, peach, orange sorbet and some herbal, floral and grassy hints. Soft bitterness and no sign of the booze.
Mouthfeel is thick, chewy and smooth, with good carbonation.
Overall, it's impressive to be able to make a beer like this with zero booziness. Deceptively easy to drink with fantastic texture.
