Sydney Brewery East Coast IPA

If you want to go straight to the fruit bomb end of Sydney Brewery's range, it’s time to hit the East Coast IPA.

In these oh so hazy days, don’t let the lack of opacity fool you into thinking you won’t get much juiciness here. This beer gives just a wink to its cousins from New England with a little natural haze, yet as soon as you’re within an arm’s length of this beauty you’ll get it. It positively jumps out of the glass, filling your face with huge, sticky aromas of mango and pawpaw. This tropical juice has sweet blossoms and lemon rind hanging around the edges, and the 7 percent ABV gives the body enough clout to have you wondering if you were smacked in the face with a mango cheek.
