Split | Red IPA | BeerCo All Grain Brewers Recipe Kit

Are you split between your love of Hops - hmmm Hops and Malt - oh so fine! Well worry not more with Split | Red IPA we bring you a truly balanced malt and hop forward beer.  With a tonne of in your face US Hop Resin underpinned by a layered full English Crisp Malt bed you will find hoppiness - so brew happy will you! Split!

Good Red IPAs balance the hop-forward flavours and aromas of traditional IPA with the caramel, malty body of an amber ale. We like to think our Split | Red IPA is a solid compromise that lets you the brewer and beer drinker temper the resinous kick of a hop forward IPA with notes of something a bit softer, smoother and even slightly sweet.
