Shadow of the Beast is an Elusive classic! This Black IPA uses roasted wheat malt to give it a dark appearance and moderately roasty malt profile. We then add Citra and Mosaic hops across six additions to layer in a lovely citrus-forward hop profile. The malts play really nicely with the hops in this one!

A 4% IPA that delivers far more than its modest strength suggests.

A gentle haze softens the edges, wrapping bold flavours and layered aromas in a smooth, easy-drinking body. Light, vibrant, and compelling — a performance you’ll want to experience again and again.
