Inversion IPA
Inversion IPA has been the brewery's year-round IPA since April 2006, when it replaced the English-style Quail Springs IPA. Three American hop varieties go into the kettle, and the beer is then dry-hopped for seven days. Crystal and caramel malts give it a copper-orange colour and a sweet malt backbone. Orange and grapefruit lead the nose, with pine needles and resin behind them; the palate adds bread crust and toffee before a long, firm bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Inversion IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

What is a IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, resinous, piney character as Inversion IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
