Black Hops North Coast IPA

TASTING NOTES

North Coast IPA is an all American IPA featuring a bouquet of tropical fruits from Mango to Berry, Grapefruit and Citrus. Darker in colour than its southern counterpart thanks to some dark and light crystal malt, North Coast presents a fuller malt body and a lingering caramel sweetness. The heavy dry hop addition of Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Idaho7 make this rich tropical and piney Big Yank of an IPA, a worthy contender in the North vs South battle

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Black Hops Brewing is 3 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.
