Left Handed Giant - Cheeseburger Cavalry

The cavalry has arrived, and it's bringing some seriously good hops! Cheeseburger Cavalry is one of Left Handed Giant's most celebrated IPAs, a much-loved recipe dating all the way back to the brewery's early cuckoo-brewing days. Returning for 2026, this exceptional 6.9% American IPA showcases a vibrant combination of Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops, delivering an irresistible medley of juicy tropical fruit, bright citrus and aromatic pine. Carefully selected hop crops bring distinctive layers of flavour, with Simcoe contributing sweet melon and earthy herbal notes, Mosaic adding ripe passionfruit and freshly pressed blueberry, and Citra introducing sharp boysenberry, bittersweet Seville orange and refreshing pine. It's a wonderfully expressive combination that celebrates everything we love about bold, beautifully crafted American IPAs, delivering an abundance of hop character with a satisfying balance of fruit, citrus and resinous complexity.

Pouring a rich golden colour, Cheeseburger Cavalry delivers a deliciously aromatic drinking experience, with layers of ripe tropical fruit and citrus complemented by a distinctive resinous edge. On the palate, expect generous impressions of juicy passionfruit, sweet melon and blueberry, followed by vibrant orange zest, tangy dark berries and subtle herbal undertones. A carefully constructed malt foundation provides satisfying body and a gentle biscuity character, while the combination of juicy hop flavours and assertive bitterness creates a wonderfully balanced finish. At 6.9% ABV, there's plenty of substance behind its expressive personality, yet the crisp, refreshing character keeps it remarkably drinkable. A fantastic example of Left Handed Giant's talent for producing exceptional hop-forward beers, Cheeseburger Cavalry is a triumphant return for one of Bristol's most enduring craft beer favourites!
