Black IPA·United Kingdom·7.4% ABV·One of 34 Black IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Black Betty's hoppy and resinous character. Jet black, yet light and hoppy: Black Betty uses Columbus, Chinook and Citra with a heavy hand, plus some German malt, and ends up a big, stinky brew at 7.4%. Grapefruit and other fruit meet a resinous streak, with light roast and coffee notes underneath. The malt bill runs Simpsons Best, Caragold, Caramalt and Carafa II and III, and Magnum joins the hop list.
