Bravehop
A 6% IPA and one of the brewery's long-running beers, formerly sold as Bravehop Amber. Marmalade and pine aromas lead to caramel and apricot flavours, followed by a bittersweet finish. Columbus, Chinook and Amarillo hops supply the orange peel and resin, while the malt gives the caramel note. In 2026 it was named overall cask champion at the Scottish round of the independent brewers' awards.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bravehop
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 caramel, orange, hoppy character as Bravehop will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
