Taste of the Week. Bradleys “The Real Capital” IPA.

Taste of the Week 


Bradleys “The Real Capital” IPA 6.2%, 440 can


The beer-can with "The Real Capital" standing out on the label is sure to catch the eye. The liquid inside makes those taste buds stand up and take notice as our Taste of the Week pours in.


This Real Capital IPA has a colour a bit like the city at sunrise on a foggy day, a hazy orange. There’s a soft white head on top that thins down quickly enough. With a “healthy helping” of Idaho-7 and Amarillo hops on board, you’re guaranteed pretty intense aromas (tropical, citrus plus floral also) and so it goes also on the palate but there’s also more than enough bitterness, a bitterness though that is light and lively, so that it’s harmony all the way, like a happy version of After All by the Frank and Walters. Capital stuff, really.

 

This well muscled beer (6.2%) is a collaboration between Bradleys (founded 1850) and  the much younger DOT Brew (from the unreal capital). It is exclusive in store and online to Bradleys Cork. Flaked and malted oats with a healthy helping of Idaho-7 and Amarillo hops are the key ingredients.
