Ewe Rebel
Named after the sheep that graze the Mourne Mountains near the brewery, Ewe Rebel is a 7.0% IPA with bittering and aroma hops in good balance. American Cascade supplies the dominant citrus and grapefruit tones. A heavyweight of the range at 7.0%, it is brewed in Castlewellan and sold in 500 ml bottles and 440 ml cans, with a stronger 9% version on cask.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ewe Rebel
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.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, hoppy, bitter character as Ewe Rebel will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
