Hope F/A-18% Rhino IIIIIPA

TASTING NOTES

This beer is rare, wild and dangerous. Hope have called it Rhino, the nickname for the F/A-18 jets that dominate the Hunter skyline. It’s a massive 18% IPA at the extreme end of brewing with the intensity, flavour and resin to navigate its high altitude ABV.
