Southern Aspect is crafted for big and bold flavours! Aromas of stone fruits on the nose, apricot, peach and nectarine. An IPA with a punch, but the aromatics and hop flavours are big and bold and can stand up with grilled and smoked meats, spicy dishes, Thai & Indian curries, and goes well with salty snacks. The near dank, herbaceous and hop flavours lead to earthy pairing compliments. Herbs, Leafy Greens & Vegetables, and mushrooms.
