    26/6/20 - People loved this beer, could be the best NEIPA I've made, maybe back off the ABV a little as it messed a few people up quite easily but no one felt the alcohol was over powering flavour, heaps of tropical fruit and juice, try Strata hops in next batch.

    Description of original beer; Aromas of pineapple and lychee abound in this Juicy IPA. Vermont yeast, massive hopping rates and a warmer fermentation combine to deliver this lupulin monster. Live your hop dreams!
