Self-Defined Style:
Black IPA
This distinctly American style ale is full of fruity, citrusy hop character. A blend of bold hop varieties: Warrior, Citra, and Columbus bring an amazing, bright hop flavor and powerful aroma. The malt bill includes a charge of black malt to give a deep, dark color without the roastiness often associated with ales of this hue.
Best With:
With a bold emphasis on hop bitterness, India pale ales are the ultimate beverage pairing for spicy dishes. The sharp hop presence in most India pale ales can stand up to even the most devilish of spices in Cajun, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian, and Mexican cuisine.
