by Mike

From Fuggles & Warlock Craftworks in Richmond comes their “Super 8-Bit IPA” 2016 edition the first in their new Experimental IPA Series.  This IPA uses 8 different hops including Green Bullet, Vic Secret, Citra, Amarillo, Ella, Galaxy, Nugget and Columbus.  The beer pours an amber colour with an off white head.  The aroma consists of floral hops, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruits, sweetness, grassy and some malts.  The flavour is of earth, bitterness, citrus, citrus rind, grapefruit, tropical fruits, grassy, herbal and caramel.  The alcohol content comes in at 7% with 68 IBU.  If you like a good IPA then I would have to recommend this beer.  Not only is it bitter but it is also a flavour bomb.

Commercial Description:  It’s back!  Version 2016.  To kick off our Experimental IPA Series, we have gone back to a classic, the Super 8-Bit.  This year’s 8 Legendary hops features Green Bullet, Vic Secret, Citra, Amarillo, Ella, Galaxy, Nugget, & Columbus hops!
