Mega City
The strongest of Bellfield's regular IPAs at 6.8 %, described by the brewery as an American IPA that balances a robust bitterness, 58 IBU, with a rich, fruity hop character. BRU-1 and Citra are used together and bring punchy floral aromas alongside classic citrus and tropical fruit, pineapple above all. Oats in the grist give the body some weight to carry the hops. It has been brewed since 2022 and is poured at both of the brewery's bars.
