Redwell Passionfruit IPA

Tap to rate

Redwell's fruitiest beer at 5.5%, long known as Chewy and now named after its fruit. Citra, Chinook and Simcoe are added at set points in the brew; oats in the mash give the hazy beer a robust, smooth body. The aroma is tropical with an ice-cream-like sweetness; the palate moves from that sweetness into a rich hop bitterness and ends on a tart splash of passionfruit. Juicy and rounded, a favourite at the brewery taproom, sold on draught and in cans.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Redwell Passionfruit IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden amber with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The cloudiness derives from oats in the mash and suspended yeast, creating a soft, opaque body that catches the light. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the creamy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent tropical fruit notes—passionfruit, mango, and stone fruit—layered with a sweet, vanilla-like character reminiscent of ice cream. Citra and Simcoe hops contribute bright citrus and pine undertones that frame the fruit without overwhelming it. A subtle earthy note grounds the profile, balancing the overall sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with a full-bodied sweetness that rolls across the palate before transitioning into a clean, measured hop bitterness in the mid-palate. The finish introduces a sharp, tart passionfruit acidity that cuts through the richness and provides welcome contrast. The oat base delivers a smooth, creamy texture throughout.

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