Shred Betty

Tap to rate

Shred Betty is a juicy IPA hopped with Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe and fermented with a tropical yeast strain. Pale malt, Maris Otter, rolled oats and wheat build a smooth body under a gentle haze. Passionfruit, mango and grapefruit run through the aroma and the palate alike, and at 47 the bitterness is firmer than the fruit suggests, drying out the finish. It returned as a house pour at the Fremantle brewpub.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant stone fruit and tropical notes—passionfruit and mango dominate the profile with supporting grapefruit undertones. Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe work in concert to deliver a juicy, aromatic character without aggressive herbal or piney edges. The tropical yeast strain adds subtle fruitiness that enhances rather than masks the hop-driven bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with fruit-forward flavors mirroring the aroma—mango and passionfruit sit comfortably on the palate. Mid-palate maintains sweetness and juiciness while the rolled oats and wheat contribute a silky mouthfeel. Bitterness emerges firmer than expected at 47 IBUs, providing structure and preventing the fruit from overwhelming; the finish dries progressively, leaving a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with bitterness asserting itself after the initial fruit sweetness fades. A refreshing mineral quality persists in the aftertaste, inviting another sip without heaviness or cloying residue.

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