Inspired by sitting in our favourite spot watching the waves crash in the cool night air, this golden IPA was brewed to capture that sense of wonder as the sun melts into the sea. Like the layers of a summer sunset, a range of citrus flavours roll across a beach of malt. Intense pine and grapefruit aromas hit the back of the nose like a fresh breeze while the heavy bodied ale warms you from within. The perfect beer for those soulful summer evenings.

2. Brew

Place the fermenting vessel in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 18C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 12 days.
At around day 7, add the Centennial Hops to the brew by wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth
(pulled straight from the pack) and place directly on top of the brew then re-fit the lid.
After a couple of days, check the Specific Gravity (SG)
Check the SG again the following day and so on.
The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days, expect about 1008 to 1012

3. Bottle

Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (use only one carbonation drop for bottles
intended to be stored for a longer period).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with age.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean - glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 7.2% ABV.
