O’Hara’s Freebird IPA

This beer is brewed with inspiration from both a Belgian Wit and an IPA. Combining a Belgian yeast strain and additions of orange peel with hops used in an IPA results in a very fruity and refreshing beer, perfect for the summer time.

Brewery Location: Carlow, Ireland

Style: White IPA

Colour: Pale gold with a light haze and frothy white head

Scent: Sweet orange and grapefruit dominate with some light peach, banana and clove in the background

Flavour: An intense combination of orange juice and rind leads way to a more delicate stone fruit aroma as well as some spicy esters from the Belgian ale yeast to enhance and complement the hop flavour. The finish is long as the citrus from the hops becomes more pronounced

Food Pairing: This beer is ideally paired with bold flavours such as spicy Mexican dishes, seafood, sharp cheddars and blue cheese.

Alcohol by Volume: 5%
