Sly Red Rye IPA

As with most IPAs this is brewed strong with an enormous addition of hops full of character. However, there is also a thoughtful application of caramel malts to create a maltier and darker coloured beer that helps the hops to become characterful in a slightly different way.

One of the most popular and manipulated beer styles in the world of beer is the India pale ale (IPA). Within this overarching style there are numerous sub categories that have been experimented and developed to meet the ever increasing need to deliver more and more hops to the avid beer drinker, in more and more interesting ways…the Red Rye IPA is one of those subcategories. As with most IPAs it’s brewed strong with an enormous addition of hops full of character.

Flavour
On the palate the beer is a pleasing cacophony of textured caramel malts, firm bitterness and juicy hop goodness. The beer finishes smooth and dry with a lasting cleansing bitterness.

Aroma
This red rye pours a deep red with a creamy head, your nose is immediately assaulted with a light pine sap and tropical fruit punch aroma.
