The boundary pushing team at Garage Project have given a iconic British classic a serious southern hemisphere spin with Trip Hop, a vibrant New World Extra Special Bitter. Pouring a glowing, deep copper-amber with a lush, off-white head, this brew bridges old world tradition with new-school hop flavour. On the nose, warm aromas of toasted caramel, sweet biscuit malt, and marmalade blend seamlessly with punchy notes of pine resin and tropical fruit. On the palate, a rich, complex malt bill provides a full-bodied, biscuity base that perfectly balances an assertive dose of vibrant New Zealand and American hops. Layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and spicy pine sweep across the tongue, finishing dry with a clean, lingering hop bitterness. It’s an exceptionally clever, flavour packed ESB made for modern hopheads and tradition lovers alike.
