[Red IPA]
[McKenzie | Mosaic]
Every pour of this Red IPA tells a story of careful layering and bold aromatics. We have utilized a heavy-hitting combination of McKenzie and Mosaic hops to create a profile that opens with elegant floral and piney notes. As you take your first sip, the experience transitions into lush tropical hits of papaya and honeydew melon, balanced by the bright grapefruit. The inclusion of Black Forest rye adds a warm, spiced depth that works in harmony with the malt character, making for a fully saturated and incredibly memorable beer. It is a complex, evolving experience that lingers long after the glass is empty.

From a 440ml can on 13/6/2026. Pours a clear reddy amber with a small head. The nose is both fruity and malty, with lots of citrus and some toast. Tastes of sweet citrus with lots of zesty peel in the mix, peel, along with some toast, caramel and biscuit. Finishes firmly bitter at the back, giving it fabulous balance. Fullish bodied with average carbonation. Bold, assertive and on point. A cracking red.
