BREWERY TASTING NOTES:
Full Hop Alchemist R2 is the second instalment in our Relaunched Full Hop Alchemist series, where every new concoction shares a similar base with the original, but contains a different blend of lupulin varieties (with numerous tweaks made along the way). R2 doesn't disappoint, with box-loads of Luminosa, Citra CRYO, Peacharine and Manilita. Huge tropical aromas of pineapple and mango followed by bright citrus / grapefruit feels (your mileage is likely to vary). We aimed for this version to be a little more on the drinkable side, the body is toned down just a smidge and the slightly higher carbonation gives a fist bump to the gentle bitterness and mild sweetness on the finish.
