Brew a vibrant, modern Hazy IPA showcasing the bright citrus and tropical character of Krush hops. A beer bursting with juicy citrus and tropical fruit aromas, balanced by a satisfyingly soft, smooth mouthfeel that defines the style.
To elevate the beer we recommend using WHC Mango Madness yeast to enhance the beer's inherent juiciness while adding distinct layers of ripe mango flavour and aroma.
