Commercial Description: Battleship is loaded with juicy hops that pack a punch. A bright nose leads to big tropical fruit flavours and a full mouthfeel. This nautical vessel of destruction has been dry hopped not one, but two times, giving it big hop flavour with fantastic balance and drinkability despite its bold appearance and high ABV.
