Having been on a pursuit of hoppiness of late when it comes to limited releases, Hargreaves Hill are doing what anyone who's been tucking into IPA after IPA would sensibly do: have a break, reset the palate, try something else.
Enter Fruitopia, a new series inspired by fruit in beer.
The first incarnation is Shadows in the Forest, a 7.5 percent ABV smoothie-style sour ale with additions of blackberry, raspberry and lactose – find our take on it here.
It gets its launch at the brewery on March 6 from 5pm, and you'll be able to find it around town in package and on tap thereafter.
