Black IPAs are created with dehusked dark malts. This gives the appearance of a dark beer, without the classic dark beer roasty flavours along with it. This allows those big hop flavours shine through, despite the darkly ominous appearance.
Hop wise for this, we went with a killer combination of Mosaic, Citra and Azacca. Mosaic is a bit of a triple threat hop, covering flavour, aroma and bitterness. Combined with the strong citrus notes of the Citra and Azacca, which brings tropical fruits to the party we think it’s a great combo.
Immediately when you pour this beer out, you’ll be surprised by the fresh surface aromas, in contrast to the murky depths of the colour. Just like Jaws and a flapping tourist, you’ll be seeking this one out again and again.
