What do you get when you combine Deep Purple, RED IPA and Comet hops? You get Fireball, our Red IPA and a nod to Deep Purple and their fourth album Fireball. Deep Purple and Comet hops were both extremely popular in the '70s, but things changed in the following decade - American beer scene was no longer interested in Comet hops, and a similar thing happened to Deep Purple's career. However, in the past ten years, the expansion of American craft market forced the hop growers to revitalize this forgotten variety, and a revolution began. Comet re-emerged to the scene and underwent a true renaissance. Wish we could say the same for Deep Purple. Oh well... :)
Fireball is Red IPA and we brew this beer only during fall/winter season. What makes Fireball different from our other IPA (C4) is a higher content of caramel malts and a more subtle hopping. Red IPAs are characterized by maltier notes compared to regular American IPAs, which makes them ideal for cold seasons.
Style: Red IPA
Hops: Magnum, Comet

On tap at Kr4ft, BP. Nose is huge resinous kick, not bitter, but very piney. In taste it’s moderately bitter, but quite resinous, with a malty touch. Light bodied, average carbo.

Can from Piwna Central, Poznan. Hazy red, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of blood orange, pomegrenate, pink grapefruit, red apple, peanut, toasted rye bread. Taste has sweetish apple & blood orange, bitter grapefruit in a malt body of bread, toast & nuts. Piney hoppy finish, bit spicy, lingering bitter grapefruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent example, nicely bitter.
