Cloudy Bay IPA

Raw wheat IPA. Cloudy Bay IPA is our ‘Tasmanianised’ expression of the hop forward beer style, India Pale Ale. The grain bill is simple – just Tasmanian Westminster pale malted barley and Bruny Island red wheat. Cloudy Bay IPA honours the hop breeders of Hop Products Australia by featuring all six hop varieties currently available from Bushy Park Estates that have been developed in HPA's breeding program – Ella, Enigma, Galaxy, Helga, HPA-035 and Summer. As proprietary strains, these hops are grown only by HPA at its two Australian farms, with the largest acreage at Bushy Park Estates in Tasmania. Generous amounts of these rare hops are used in seven separate additions during the brewing process, creating a heady blend of citrus, tropical fruit and herbal aromas. A restrained bitterness allows the earthy tartness of the red wheat to shine through, accentuating the tangy hop flavours.
