Camden Town Bleeding Hops IPA Camden Town Brewery (AB InBev) Ponders End, Greater London
Beer style: IPA Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Keg; Special.
Rob and Renn brewed Bleeding Hops IPA (6.4% ABV). Don’t expect a pale brew with this one. This beer is stained blood red through the use of aromatic malt (or maybe through the bloodied lupulin sacrifice of so many hops…), a base that harks back to old recipes, which is then flipped over with the use of modern hops: Simcoe and Motueka were in the kettle and whirlpool, then we transferred it to condition on lots and lots of different dry-hops: Calypso, Delta, Crystal, Amarillo, Simcoe and Citra.
This is what Camden Town beers taste like: full of flavour, balanced, our twist on a classic style. It’s got body, depth, with a full roundness to it which supports the big hop flavour and aroma (punchy citrus, roasted tropical fruit, strawberry), a bitterness which is skillfully restrained instead of shocking. This is not your usual IPA. |
