A true hop lovers beer. A classic NorthWest American IPA, this big boy packs a punch. The 55 IBU’s are kept in check with Munich and Caramel malt character and the blend of Cascade and Simcoe hops deliver a combination of grapefruit, citrus, pine and passionfruit to rock the taste buds. Dry Hopping with even more Simcoe really drives the aroma home for this IPA. Malts: Pale, Crystal. Hops: Columbus, Simcoe, Cascade.

Bottle at Mum and Dads, from Callans Dundalk, 26/12/14. Very lightly hazed golden amber with a decent off white covering that dissipates then stays for the show. Nose is floral hop, tangerine, melon, orange pith, light pine, citric tinged straw, perfmued pissoi. Taste comprises tangerine, hoppy pangs, straw, floral notes, mandarin, pink grapefruit, faint spice, light caramel malt, chalky mineral vibes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with citricana and hop bitterness. One of the better craft Irish IPA’s I’ve encountered thus far, nice balance, fresh, clean, tropical fruit tones, some pine and hops - decent enough fayre and one I would actually class as an IPA not an IPA wannabe ESB affair!
