King Slayer is a New England-style Double IPA from Buxton Brewery, an independent British craft brewer based in Buxton. At 8% ABV, this hazy ale pours with a distinctive fluffy white head and cloudy appearance. The aroma presents bold citrus and tropical fruit notes from its American hop selection.

On the palate, King Slayer delivers smooth, fruity character that masks its strength remarkably well. Tropical fruit and citrus flavours dominate, balanced by herbal and bitter notes. The beer drinks far lighter than its alcohol content suggests, making it deceptively approachable despite its power.
