Grand Central IPA
Hydes' craft beer is a hop-heavy IPA with hops including Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic, very lightly filtered, with fruity notes of citrus, tropical fruit and passion fruit. The pitch sends drinkers on a railway journey through flavour, all aboard the Grand Central Express. Vegan friendly, 4.2% ABV, from the craft ales Hydes introduced to its range more recently alongside keg.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Grand Central 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.
