Commercial Description:
The India Pale Ale was born when handfuls of fresh hops were added to barrels to preserve beer quality when shipping from England to colonial India. It is the same generous addition of hops that allow the Three Boys IPA to survive the long haul, but when drunk fresh you ca really appreciate the aroma our special selection of NZ hops creates.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with sediment floating around under a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - especially citrus fruits, but also notes of hops and hints of yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeasty, hops, and fruit - especially lemins, leading to a quite spicy finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for shipping this home.

Draught at The Malthouse (in Wellington), amber with a filmy head. A apricot fruit aroma, slightly ashen. A strongly hoppy palate, with a spritzy mouthfeel. The malt is slightly buttery, but the hops provide a tangy floral finish.
