Liberum Fermentum - West Coast Double Black IPA
Double Black IPA | 500ml | ABV 8.5%
Brewed in collaboration with Sydney legends at Bracket Brewing. A sturdy foundation of base malt, Munich II and roasted wheat lays down a midnight-black canvas that's surprisingly light on its feet. Gentle roast and dark bread crust notes quietly hum away underneath an outrageously stacked hop bill featuring Rakau, Mosaic, Ella, NZ Rhapzody, Rakau Amplifire, Mosaic HyperBoost, Rakau SubZero Hop Kief and Centennial. The result is a genuine mind-bender - fresh berries, guava and tropical fruit balanced with a wave of pine, citrus and resin. Despite looking like it should drink heavy, it's remarkably crisp, finishing with that unmistakable West Coast snap. Light roast intertwines with bold bitterness before lingering long after the glass is empty. Turns out, when brewers brew what they want, everyone wins.
