Here’s what’s inside the August Juicy IPA & Pale Ale Box:-
Siren Brew Siren Yu Lu
Refreshing and exciting in equal measure, Yu Lu is brewed with Earl Grey tea and lemon zest for taste that belies its strength. Distinct peach and apricot notes are complemented by zesty bergamot flavours and a delicate loose leaf tea bitterness.
Big Hug Brewing Hibernation White IPA
Cloudy and full bodied like a wheat beer, tastes like an IPA. Unfiltered, unfined and unpasteurised we use 34% malted wheat, a neutral US05 yeast and dry hop with Citra and Chinook to give a light, refreshing citrus profile. Well balanced with a light bitter finish to maximise drinkability and a rich, full-bodied mouth feel.
Buxton Brewery Nuts & Crosses
Defying predictability, just like the Peak District weather, this is an interesting full-bodied milk stout mixed with sinfully rich peanut butter decadence to create a true adventurous palate pleaser. I was pleasantly surprised by this one!
Anspach & Hobday The IPA
This classic IPA is inspired by those from the West Coast of America. Brewed in London with British Malt & American Hops (Summit, Ekuanot & Enigma), it is dank, resinous and fruit forward!
Great Beyond Brewing Co The Raspberry Incident
After a mixed fermentation, they load up the tank with whole, real raspberries at a rate of 300g/l. Deep red with pinkish foam, fruit-forward with a bright acidic finish. A lovely fruited sour.
Pretty Decent Beer Co Live For Today
A fruity sour similar to the above but with blackcurrants thrown in with the raspberries. Wonderfully refreshing!
Overtone Obsidian Milk Stout
A dark milk stout inspired by obsidian, the hard volcanic rock. Using Magnum hops, this stout boasts a robust and smooth bitterness. The result is a rich, dark beer with a strong foundation of flavour and a touch of sweetness.
Fierce Beer Cerveza
The final beer in this box is different to the others as it’s a crisp, light and refreshing Mexican-style lager cut with zesty lime. It delivers maximum flavour and is perfect for a summer’s day in the garden.
Extras
The three extras in the box are a stylish Hops & Cans glass, a packet of Soffles Garlic & Chilli Pitta Chips and Chika’s Chilli & Lime Nut Mix – the perfect drink snacks!
