This is our Brut IPA, a new take on IPA brewed for a bone dry champagne-style finish. Late hop additions give the beer balanced bitterness and a bright pop of citrus flavor. It's as intriguing as it is drinkable.

BITTERING HOPS: Simcoe
FINISHING HOPS: Comet, Crystal, Chinook, Simcoe
MALTS: Two-row Pale, Wheat, Acidulated

Bottle from Albertsons. Here's Sierra Nevada hopping on yet another crazed, this time the Brut ipas. Pours a very pale golden with a small skin of white head. Aroma is fruity, grapes. Taste brings a little bit of sweetness, and a very sharp pronounced bitterness. Overall, very light in body and palate. This improved over time, as it warmed, and as the palate adjusted to the yeast.

12-oz bottle into Belgian ale glass

A - 3 fingers of white over a transparent body of pale yellow, clouded with suspended sediment throughout

S - orchard fruits, lemon, grass

T - lemon, orchard fruits, spice and grass from the hops

M - light body with high carbonation, dry finish

O - Not terrible; just not quite what I expected from an IPA.

355ml bottle from Beerhawk online shop (£3.39):
Very light & clear golden to straw coloured with a thumb-sized white head & some lacing on the sides. The nose is light with lager malts & some citrus with subtle grassy hops at the end but it's very much like a pale lager up to this point. The taste was very dry, sharp & closer to the brut IPA taste I was hoping for with a hint of tart & more citrus at the end but still not many hops. It's well-carbonated with a crisp, lveily feel & overall it was very dry.
