Great tropical flavour, you definately know you're getting a hit of hops but it's different to the usual stuff.

They're becoming a favourite for my house pale ale... going to brew with them next week again.
whats your recipe Mysterio, I`m looking for tried and tested Aurora recipe.

Hi Mysterio

Looks great.

how much carbonation do you serve this with- like a bitter, or more like an APA?

Somewhere inbetween, a bit more than a lively cask ale but not super fizzy. Pretty much how I do all my beers unless it's a lager/wheat
