Evil Archie's Red IPA

Evil Archie’s is a deep red IPA with a full malt backbone. Each of the different shades of crystal malt has their unique offering. The Light Crystal adds sweetness and caramel character, the Medium Crystal offers an amazing colour, body and flavour, whilst Dark Crystal contributes to the red colour and overall raisin sweetness and slight roast character. We’ have also used a dash of Cafra 3, which is a roasted dehusked barley, contributing a layer of complexity but also a fantastic red hue. Given the fat malt body we were able to load this beer with a large amount of hops. We’ have kept the boil additions relatively simple with a big hit of Magnum for bittering. Magnum is a fantastic smooth bittering hop that sets the foundation perfectly. We’ then used US Centennial for flavour and aroma at the end of boil, then post fermentation we dry hopped with Mosiac and Brooklyn. The 6.66% Abv is disguised perfectly but be careful your evil side may be brought out.
