Mountain Goat RIPA

Mountain Goat Beer (Asahi)
Richmond, Victoria
Beer style: IPA - Rye
Ref: ratebeer.com May2024

Common descriptors are
A Rye IPA that we brewed for the Australian National Homebrewers Conference and it uses our IPA recipe with 20% rye malt thrown in. We went into brewing this beer with our eyes closed, which resulted in a 5 hour run-off (normal is 2 hours) and culminated in us nearly putting the whole brew down the drain. From a seemingly ugly duckling has emerged a beautiful swan. The rye malt had added a smoothness and roundness to the palate while all the usual IPA goodness remains- bitter, hoppy, malty. Good.
