With an ABV of around 7.2%, this IPA has the right balance of bitterness and malt sweetness, making it a refreshing yet satisfying brew.

The flavor profile is a true hop lover’s dream. Expect prominent piney, citrus, and tropical fruit notes, thanks to the generous use of Citra hops throughout the brewing process. The bitterness level, with an IBU of 70, offers a solid bite without overwhelming the taste buds, while the rich malt body, courtesy of the Brewers 2-Row Malt and Caramel/Crystal 40 Malt, provides a smooth, slightly sweet contrast to the hop intensity.

The combination of Magnum hops for bitterness and Citra hops for aromatic and flavorful dry hopping ensures that every sip delivers a well-rounded and memorable experience. As you brew, you’ll appreciate the balance between the upfront hoppiness and the malty backbone that supports it.

This kit includes everything you need to brew a high-quality IPA at home, including American Ale Yeast, Priming Sugar, and an Irish Moss/Energizer Combo to help clarify your beer and improve the brewing process.
