This super fruity IPA was brewed for the return leg of our collaboration with the lovely people at Verdant. Ella, Citra and Sabro combine for flavours of bergamot, grapefruit and orange, all amplified by a gentle juicy acidity.

To produce this 6.5% IPA, we naturally acidified a portion of wort using lactic acid bacteria, which was added to the kettle to lower the pH pre fermentation. The increased acidity doesn’t sour; instead, it allows the hops to remain bright, lively and juicy at such high hopping rates. We’re really happy with the results. It’s so smooth and creamy with flavours reminiscent of white grape, tangerine and orange with a gentle coconut finish.
