Black Hops Afterburner Red IPA

TASTING NOTES

Black Hops last limited release of the year is loaded with brand new Lupomax* hops creating billowing cascades of hop aroma. With kola, caramel and toffee malt sweetness acting as the perfect wingman to the citrus and pine hop characters, this Red IPA ties together with a persuasive; but not aggressive, bitterness. That’s right Iceman, I’m dangerous.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Black Hops Brewing is three mates making craft beer and sharing everything they learn along the way. After discussing a concept over beer at the pub, Dan, Eddie and Govs set off to make their first beer, the Eggnog Stout. Once the pilot brew batch was out, their attention quickly turned to doing a proper commercial brew.

They opened the doors to their own brewery and taproom in Burleigh Heads in June 2016.

In 2015, Black Hops brewed the world’s first official Call of Duty beer, a Midnight Pale Ale. In 2016, they successfully raised $17,000 via a crowdfunding campaign to become the first Aussie brewery to launch via crowdfunding.
