Young Rival - Hazy IPA
Young Rival is our flagship IPA! Using a blend El Dorado and Mosaic hops, we focused on creating a juicy and tropical IPA with very limited bitterness, and a simple malt bill that lets the hops shine with peach and orange aromas and flavours bursting in every sip.

§ How it tastes
The one that converted everybody. Soft, thick, and smells like a fruit bowl. The bitterness that scares people off IPAs is mostly dialled out, which is why it is the easiest IPA to start with and the hardest to stop drinking.
That's the style. This beer is one brewery's take on it.
