Rye River Lil’ Banging Session IPA, 3.8% ABV, 500 ml bottle
Introducing the impressive lil’ sibling of the Big Bangin’
This is the little sibling of Rye River’s Big Bangin’, coming to you, unpasteurised and centrifuged, at a smooth and sessionable 3.8% ABV (compared to 7.1%).
Aromas are ripe fruits, with a touch of sweet sherbet. There’s a posse of hops in there, all from the USA, so no surprise to find the more exotic fruits (tangerine included) on the palate. But don’t worry - it is not over the top, nowhere near it.
The colour is a golden straw, with a hazy background. This little IPA is well-balanced. And Very Highly Recommended. Be sure to serve it chilled.
Geek Bits:
Malt: Caramalt, Malted oats, Maris Otter, Wheat.
Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, Columbus, El Dorado, Mosaic, Simcoe.
