In this edition of our Postcards series we're taking a trip to the United Kingdom to visit some of our best buds. For the next stop on our virtual tour, we're heading to Lewes to visit the absolute legends at Beak. We've collabed with Beak once before at their place where we made some signature Beak and Range haze but have switched things up for this beer, following Beaks lead on a style they've been pursuing recently - the Bright IPA. It's similar in many ways to our Cali IPAs with the distinct difference being that it's fermented with a hazy IPA yeast strain, but all other ingredients and processes lean towards a Cali or West Coast style.
Cliff Update is absolutely belted with a DDH dose of Sabro Incognito, Nectaron Cryo, Nelson Sauvin Cryo and finished off with Citra HyperBoost for good measure. She pours a pale yellow hue that is neither hazy or clear, but somewhere perfectly inbetween and with a glorious fluffy foam atop. The aromas are bellowing out and they're kiwi dominated with Nelson taking centre stage with plenty of dank, and grapey goodness coming through. Take a sip and you'll immediately be met with a sticky hop bomb that is brimming with freshness. Buckets of intense stone fruit coming through with peach, mango and nectarine, as well as orange candy crush and pineapple lollies. The finish is clean and dry but with the most seductive lingering hop presence that will bring you back for more. We're huge fans and we think you'll love this Beak style Bright IPA as much as us!
