Indy Man Beer Celebration!!! - hasn't happened... super sad face. No Casio Wizzard, no getting too drunk to navigate the Turkish Baths, no Thirsty Games, no somehow losing your glass!!! Hang on a minute, we think we feel a collab coming on... The finest people behind one of the finest beer festivals in the UK have been hard at work brewing up some special beers with the some of the UK's finest breweries! In this beer we've encapsulated the spirit of IMBC by going big and not going home. OATS! - loads of them! Naked Oats and Torrefied Flaked Oats for a beer as thick as your head after the Saturday night session. Chit Malt for some nice froth on top of your beer, not quite Buxton x Omnipollo soft serve, but a tiny inch towards it. HOPS! Good ones too! New Zealand's darling Motueka, chosen to imitate the grandeur of Victoria Bath's architecture in which IMBC is set in! We've thrown in some Simcoe too, just because it’s a beaut! To summarise: a thick and creamy 7% lemon and lime, piney, tropical fruit bomb with a sprinkle of spice on top. Hopefully drinking at home, you won’t end up somehow losing your glass.

440ml can conditioned. A soft, extra smooth, super juicy, fruit bomb. Low bitterness but slightly chalky dryness. Delicious, citrus and tropical fruit, New England-style IPA.

Pours a hazy light orange with fine head, leaving some nice lacing.
Smell is juicy, sweet and dank. Notes of gummy candy, oranges, pineapple and a floral hint.
Taste is juicy with good sweetness and dankness. Notes of melon, gummy candy, gooseberries, grapes and white wine. Slight floral hints with soft, crisp bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft, illowy and well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice, very NZ IPA.
