Vera IPA
A New England IPA first poured in the brand's Refugios and bottled from 2021. Pale ale and Munich malt, malted wheat, oats and a little caramel malt give a deep orange colour and a steady haze. Simcoe, Mosaic and the Australian Ella are added mostly cold, so the aroma brings tropical fruit, passion fruit, mango, peach, tangerine and orange with a herbal note. Bitterness stays low; the body is medium and silky, and the finish refreshing.
