FRESH IPA Feb 22

Fresh IPA, a rolling, ever-changing, monthly series of one-offs, brewed in small batches and available only from our brewery outlets and only while stocks last. Each batch is an opportunity to try a new brewery fresh IPA, unfiltered and unfined, showcasing a unique combination of yeast, malt and hops. Just fun, fresh hoppy beer at its best.

FEB plays around with a hopping technique that's brand new to our FRESH series. It's called 'hop dipping' - a process that involves steeping a charge of hops in 80°c water in the fermenter to make a concentrated hop tea, and then running the wort in on top of it. Think of it as the love child of a hop back and a dryhop, giving you gentle hot extraction of flavour and then lots of hop contact with the beer as it ferments.

And the result? German Heidelburg malt, wheat and crystal oats create a soft hazy beer with a rich golden honey hue and persistent bright white head. The Riwaka, Idaho 7 and Simcoe then deliver a nose that’s all starburst fruit candy
