Red Stone IPA

Red Stone IPA — Amber IPA with New World Hops — Birrificio Mezzopasso

Red Stone IPA is a rather unique IPA in the beer scene, crafted by Birrificio Mezzopasso, an artisanal brewery from Popoli (Pescara, Abruzzo). The gentle mix of fruity and spicy aromas and flavors from the New World hops (USA, Australia, New Zealand) blends with the biscuity and caramel notes typical of English amber Real Ales: a beer that interprets a new, old way of drinking IPA. Modern in hopping, traditional in malt base.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it is fruity and spicy: the New World hops bring notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and spices in a modern and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the amber malt base adds biscuit and caramel that balance the hopping in an unexpected and harmonious way. The finish is bitter but not aggressive, with caramel softening the close. An IPA that looks forward and backward at the same time.
