Tiny Rebel Game Theory NEIPA is a flavour-packed showcase of hazy hop-forward brewing that brings together all the best traits of the New England IPA style. This 6% ABV creation from Tiny Rebel, an award-winning Welsh brewery, is a true crowd-pleaser with its juicy fruit notes, pillowy texture, and vibrant presentation.
Pouring a pale golden yellow with a signature haze, Game Theory opens with bold aromas of ripe pineapple, mango, and subtle grapefruit. A smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel gives way to layers of citrus and tropical fruit, all balanced by gentle bitterness and a refreshing finish. With hops like Columbus, Cashmere, and Citra Cryo in the mix, this beer is all about freshness and juicy character without overwhelming the senses.
