This kit is our interpretation of an English-style India Pale Ale. The original IPAs were for export, brewed to a high gravity with lots of hops; the increased alcohol and high hop rate helped them withstand long journeys by sea. This beer pours with a pale amber color, big white head, and fresh floral hop bouquet, followed by a full body with fruity and bready malt character and strong bitterness. Great with spicy food. Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter.
