We had the pleasure of hosting Menno Oliver to brew up a rare beast of a Black IPA. Nelson & Riwaka take the lead with a touch of Sabro to balance the dark malts and bold hops.

Keg at 73 Enid Street, 28/05/2025.
Light black topped with a lasting khaki head.
Nose is big dank hop strains, stone fruit, white grape nibble, gooseberries.
Taste comprises light roasted tones, dank, lychee, gooseberries, pine resin, stone fruit, modest charr.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close peppered with earthy come resinous hop bitterness.
Bit of a headfuck of a beer ... solid stuff but drink it blind and you'd expect a murky orange colour in your glass!

Pour black with a dark brown hue and a dirty tan head that fades. Bitter hop on the aroma, sticky citrus notes with just a hint of coconut, some roast malt and chocolate. Taste is roast malt, chocolate, coffee, lime and coconut notes from the Sabro and a bitter sticky citrus finish. Good CDA
