Cold IPA isn’t about the temperature you drink it or IPA “on the rocks”. It’s not to be confused with IPL, that is an IPA fermented cold as a lager. It is about process and ingredients that result in a unique beer that has a clean, crisp, light body that provides a great stage for the hops to really express their character. Brewed with adjuncts (gasp!) like rice and corn allows the beer to be dry without being naked and overly bitter. It’s fermented warm with a clean fermenting lager yeast that allows the hops to shine without being muddled by any ale yeast aromas.
It’s crisp and sessionable, but strong and sneaky. It’s a Cold IPA!

Draught@SBWF2022. Slightly hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, herbal and some mild earthy tones with mild toffee too. Flavour is floral, fruity, earthy and some herbal tones with a mild bitterness to it. Very smooth, and actually very quaffable.

Burk från SB. Lätt (kyl)disig ljusguldig med hög fluffig vit krona. Lätt, torr men mjuk kropp, förhållandevis låg beska inledningsvis, men kryper fram och växer till sig en bit in - väl integrerad. Annars lite grapetoner. Förrädiskt lättdrucken.

Ljusgul disig vätska med högt skumtäcke. Aromer av citrus, apelsin, kakor. Tunn kantig maltkropp och en ännu tråkigare beska, som bäst beskrivs som gräsig och tvålig.
