Brewery: Karl Strauss in San Diego, California Style: IPA ABV: 7% RateBeer: 77/100 Pour: Pale orange colour with a thin white head. I still remember the first time I had this beer.

Brewery: Colonial Brewing in Melbourne, VIC Style: IPA ABV: 6.5% RateBeer: 65/100 Pour: Orange sunset in colour with a white foamy head that decreases. This is all the things an IPA should be. Little bitter, hint of zest and pine. Easy enough to drink and lingers on the palate well after it’s travelled down the throat. Well crafted and very enjoyable.

Brewery: New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado Style: IPA ABV: 7% IBUs: 55 RateBeer: 64/100 Pour: Dirty orange colour with slight head So this is made from hemp. While there’s no THC (or any of the good stuff from hemp….you know what I’m talking about) it does have a strong hemp aroma on pour. Otherwise this is just a hoppy IPA.

Brewery: Young Henry’s in Newtown, NSW Style: IPA ABV: 6.0% Rate Beer: 72/100 Pour: Light golden colour with a big fluffy head that sits for a while Improving their standard Hop Ale with seasonal flavours.
