#482 Siren Craft Brew | Ten Dollar Shake - Fruit Smoothie IPA 6.6%ABV (English/Scottish Craft Beer)

Brewery - Siren Craft Beer/BrewDog
Beer - Ten Dollar Shake
Style - Fruit Smoothie IPA
ABV - 6.6%
Commercial Description - This beer was originally brewed in collaboration with our friends at Brewdog Shepherds Bush. We put our heads together and decided to create a fruit smoothie of a beer, so this is a juice-packed IPA with the most fruit we’ve ever used in a brew (Mango, Papaya and Passionfruit!), plus a huge hit of lactose for a thick and smooth body.

#468 Magic Rock BrewingCo | Hypnotist IPA 6.8%ABV (English Craft Beer)

Brewery-MagicRockBrewingCo(Yorkshire)
Beer - Hypnotist IPA
Style - IPA (American)
ABV - 6.8%
Commercial Description - Hazy IPA using Golden Promise, Oats, Rye and acid malt in the mash for a smooth and lightly sour/tart body. Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic and Simcoe T90 hops were used in the whirlpool and Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe Cryo Hops™ Lupulin Powder from Yakima Hop Farms in the dry hop creating big tropical aromas and juicy tart flavour. We used low levels of Coriander seed to contribute geraniol and linalool flavor compounds which augment the fruity and floral character of the hops and yeast. We then fermented with US ‘double IPA yeast’ for a peachy aroma. Deeply fruity, refreshing and drinkable…. are you feeling sleepy yet?
