Common descriptors are
Glen’s Hop Vice is our tribute to the late Eugene Brewer Glen Falconer. This Imperial IPA is a lesson in simplicity, using just one type of malted barley (Simpson Golden Promise), one hop variety (Amarillo) and one yeast strain (English Ale). The three ingredients come together with pure McKenzie water to produce a very complex ale. It has a strong aroma of citrusy grapefruit and a balanced bitterness against the firm malt body and the higher than normal alcohol.
