Red IPA
Our first Red IPA of the season is built upon a heavy malt base from New Zealand, along with four other specialty grains that impart both a comforting, malt-forward backbone and a beautiful amber hue. The bitterness is slightly restrained here, allowing the double dry hop of Simcoe, CRYO POP, and hand-selected Riwaka hops to pop and shine. Expect a malty number that’s chock-full of hop character and the crimson colour of autumnal nostalgia.

From a 440ml can on 29/7/2025. Pours a clear deep red amber with a biggish head. The nose is quite malty and nutty. Tastes of dark and dried fruit, nuts and rye bread, finishing with a firm, sharpish bitterness. Fullish body with moderate to average carbonation. I can't recall ever having another One Drop Red IPA and this one is very solid.
