Dark Cold IPA
Matriz bends expectations. A dark IPA fermented cool with lager yeast for a crisp, easy-drinking body, layered with tropical and floral punch from New Zealand hops CIP014 and CIP076. Smooth, resinous, and dangerously drinkable.

On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a clear deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty timid, with earthy toasted malt and subdued hoppy bitterness underneath. Flavour is rather muted and garbled, with toasted malt, earthiness, dry tepid hops, and a dull bready finish. Not hopped enough, not malted enough, not balanced skillfully. I want to applaud this black (okay, dark) IPA, but this just isn’t up to scratch.

On tap at St. Augustine's. Pours murky brown with a beige head. Light resins and malt on the nose. Flavour has resins, soft brown bread malts; some tangy hops that do not work well with the dark malts. Very little bite. I like the resins, but the hop choice is odd for the style and everything seems very timid; a toothless black IPA.
