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

Mar. '17. On tap at Plan B, Split. It poured a hazy red-copper body with a bigger white head atop. Aroma of citrus, pine and herbal hops with caramel malt, a bit on the wet side but fine. Flavor was lightly bitter, tasty caramel malts intertwined with pine citrus hop bitterness. Medium to full in body with longer bitterish finish. Rather a nice maltier IPA.

On tap @Wok & Pizza Varaždin. Hazy deep amber pour, two finger creamy off-white head. Long lasting, excellent retention, thick lacing on the glass. Pleasant nose, strong herbal and grassy character. Nice hop accent. Medium body, medium carbonation. Slightly oily texture, very smooth palate. Taste is pleasantly bitter, not too aggressive, very nicely balanced. Aroma similar to nose, hoppy with pronounced herbal and grassy notes. Mild peppery. Citrus notes. Subtle pine. Slight caramel in the background. Long lasting finish, pleasantly bitter. Overall, quite tasty. Well balanced IPA, smooth and very drinkable. Nice one.
