beervent day 09 Ocean Reach Little Hopper Black IPA

Brewery: Ocean Reach Brewing Location: VIC Style: Black IPA ABV: 7% Beer Description: Bold yet balanced, Little Hopper struts in with roasted coffee & dark chocolate malts, then cheekily flips the script with a lively mix of hops. Zesty citrus, tropical fruit, & pine tease their way through the smooth malt backbone, finishing crisp and complex. Built on a base of pale and roasted malts, this beer delivers a smooth roast character with notes of coffee and dark cocoa. Late additions of Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe hops contribute bright layers of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Fermented clean with American ale yeast to highlight balance between the malt richness and hop expression. Finishes dry with moderate bitterness and a crisp edge.
