Outland

Tap to rate

Folkingebrew loves its hazy IPAs but is just as fond of a bitter West Coast IPA, hence Outland: grapefruit and citrus up front, tropical fruit behind them and a fresh, zesty edge from Riwaka. A little caramel sweetness from the malt balances the firm bitterness. Hopped with Pahto, Centennial, Citra and Riwaka, brewed with pilsner, Crystal 120, wheat, Carapils and chit malt and WHC Lax yeast. Released in September 2026.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with pronounced citrus bite and crisp hop character, transitioning into tropical and stone fruit flavors mid-sip. A firm, well-defined bitterness builds steadily, anchored by subtle caramel and breadiness from the malt backbone. The finish remains zesty and dry, with a lingering hop edge that frames the subtle sweetness.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
