We all know that Ireland is no stranger to clouds. That said, on the cloud spectrum (which runs from dreary to happy), it's our friend the Cumulus that lets us know that we've got a sunny day, ripe for outdoor adventure and, perhaps, a barbecue. Cumulus are the puffy, fluffy heaps of cloud that we drew as kids, a signifier of fair weather – or of The Simpsons' opening sequence. This cloudy IPA was brewed with Irish pale ale malt, wheat and oats. It has a juicy hop aroma, rounded out with a dry hop addition of NZ's Nelson Sauvin for an extra fruity gooseberry hit. We've got intense tropical fruit flavours here, a soft body and smooth mouthfeel: just what we need for those Cumulus days.
