Bridge Road Need More Vol. 5 Cold IPA 440ml Can

Country: Australia

Brewery: Bridge Road Brewers

Style: IPA - India Pale Ale

Format: 440ml Can

ABV: 7%

The fifth beer in our new bi-monthly IPA series sees a Bridge Road spin on the burgeoning 'Cold IPA'.

When researching the style, we recognised that these beers were essentially hoppy lagers, so we set about to flip the concept by using an ale yeast and fermenting at lager temperatures, thus making a true Cold iPA.

Pale yellow in the glass, the aromas are of ripe tropical fruit, bubblegum and grapefruit (courtesy of some kiwi hops).

Tropical and citrus hop notes dance on the palate, making way for a clean, lean body and an off dry finish with a restrained bitterness.
