Deep, Deep, Deep, Deep Undercover IPA (4D IPA v.6 'Red Dawn') | JailHouse Brewing Company
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: 70
Style: IPA - American
Out of Production
Description: Red Dawn is a result of what happens when you throw out the rulebook and just start playing with ideas. We love the caramel maltiness of red ales and of course, IPA level, hops are always a welcome ingredient, but we wanted to "uncover" new flavor characteristics that would break the mold of the IPA style. That's what the Undercover IPA is all about anyway so, in a mashup of brewing styles, we decided to brew a hopped up red wheat. The plan was a bit risky and it had potential for a massive fail, but it also had potential to be new, interesting, and quite delicious. Our wheat yeast produces a nice banana note so we decided to compliment that with some juicy, fruity, hops all laid on a foundation of caramel sweetness that is characteristic of a red ale. To be honest, I was unsure at first. The flavors needed some time to develop as we approached the end of fermentation and dry-hopping. Once each element started to mellow and intermingle, the beer began to blend nicely. What we ended up with was a beer with a beautiful red hue, a non-traditional aroma of melon, banana, and evergreen, a great medium bodied mouthfeel and a significant lingering bitterness. The evolution continues and this version of 4Deep Undercover IPA has revealed that there can be more to an IPA than a pale orange color and big citrusy hops.
