English IPA
Bridge Road Brewers have created their own take on a more traditional beer style – India Pale Ale, originally a heavily hopped beer developed for the long haul from England to India by boat.
Fresh hops were added to the barrel and the alcohol was bolstered to ensure the beer went the distance on the high seas. Bling, is a huge beer, with all the bells and whistles. This ale is armed to the teeth with hops and studded with 24 carrot modified malts. At Bridge Road we've gone all out to make an IPA that screams hops and malt but still keeps balance in mind. Try matching this beer it with anything spicy or enjoy this malt and hop mouth full on its own. We love it, and hope you can too.

Bottle. Cloudy amber brown with beige head. Surprisingly little aroma: slightly hoppy. Medium body, well carbonated. Flavour seriously dominated by hops with very bitter finish. Overall I found this an unbalanced beer, overwhelmed by hoppy bitterness. Tried this again 2013/04/03 on tap and enjoyed it much more: Ar: 8, Ap: 3, Ta: 8, Pa: 4, Ov: 15.

On tap at brewery and then later in bottle. This is a little beauty. Wonderfully amber in colour with burnt aroma and well-balanced palate. At the lighter end of the IPA spectrum but beautifully crafted. Not sure I’ve tasted a better IPA in Australia.
