Black Rock Classic IPA is crafted using a blend of MaltEurop Ale, MaltEurop Lager, Gladfield Light Crystal, and Gladfield Aurora malts, resulting in a well-balanced malt profile with a light amber colour. The NZ Green Bullet hops provide a moderate bitterness that complements the malt sweetness, creating a smooth and enjoyable IPA.

This Classic IPA is known for its balanced bitterness and rich malt character, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a flavourful and refreshing beer. The combination of specialty malts and carefully selected hops results in a beer that is both satisfying and bold.

Brew with Black Rock Light UME, or combine 2 cans of Classic IPA for a more intense hop aroma and bitterness. Try brewing this recipe with a specialty ale yeast like Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05.
