This New Zealand take on the New England IPA style is a collaboration with our Kiwi friends at Hop Burns and Black in London. A pale, oat-laden grist gives a full, silky-smooth body, setting the stage for a dazzling array of fruity South Island hop character – passion fruit, papaya, nectarine, kiwi and mango.

Murk is about right, look at this stuff!! I'm a huge fan of Marble but so far only had their dark offerings, so had to try this. It's a collaboration between Marble (Manchester) and Hop Burns & Black (Kiwi owners of a bottle shop and tap in London) so a sort of Kiwi Londoners take on a New England IPA with added Manchester swagger. It packs a mighty punch that's for sure. It takes pulp to a different level and is thick with oats, wheat and barley. The tropical fruit is turned all the way up to compete with the big citrus hops and it is apparent in both the punchy fresh smell and massive taste. It's a juicy, fruity, bomb of a drink, with sweetness outshining the slightly bitter finish. Brilliant!
