TASTING NOTES
Akasha Korben IIPA, 375ml Can, ABV 8.5%
From the heart of the hop cosmos comes the Korben. A dazzling constellation of Simcoe, Centennial and Mosaic with a huge passionfruit shine, soaring tropicals, subtle sweetness and a sublime bitter finish, it’s as artfully composed as the music of the spheres.
Stone & Wood X Afends Crop Circles Mango, Macadamia & Hemp Pale Ale, 500ml Can, ABV 5.0%
This one started as an idea for Record Store Day. A Black IPA seemed appropriate. Only problem was Little Bang didn’t like them very much. Something about the roasted malt bite and the big piney hops didn’t sit so well. So the mission was clear: Come up with a Black IPA recipe that they’d actually want to drink. So they rounded out the roast a bit and concentrated more on the richer, fruitier hops than the pine cones. The end result is a smoother black hop bomb than most, with a bit of xmas cake to it, and a regular favourite for them. Go figure.
Moon Dog The Future Is Bright Solar Powered IPA, 330ml Can, ABV 6.2%
Moon Dog is on their way to becoming a carbon-neutral brewery and to celebrate they’ve used the power of the sun and their 317 solar panels to help brew this bright and juicy IPA!
CoConspirators The Dealer IPA, 355ml Can, ABV 6.8%
American IPAs will match well with spicy dishes, especially food from Southeast Asia.
Little Bang May Contain Traces of Panther Chocolate Porter, 375ml Can, ABV 6.5%
The lovely, friendly snugglepuss that just might hurt you if you’re not careful. Smooth, deep, dark, dangerous.
Revel The Reveller Session Ale, 375ml Can, ABV 3.5%
When you want to Revel a little lighter without compromising on flavour, this is the perfect beer! Light-bodied, crisp, and jam-packed with tropical fruit flavours!
