Moa Blackhops: A Captivating Twist on the IPA Tradition Moa Brewing Company's Blackhops is a unique and intriguing take on the IPA style. This black IPA, or Cascadian Dark Ale, offers a delightful blend of bold hop characteristics and a subtle complexity from the use of dark roasted malts. Upon first sip, you'll be greeted with a burst of tropical hop aromas, reminiscent of a classic IPA. However, the addition of the dark roasted malts adds an unexpected layer of depth, introducing notes of mocha and roasted coffee. The result is a beer that tantalizes the senses, with a noticeable savoury bitterness that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The late hopping with Simcoe and Cascade hops provides an extra aromatic punch, further enhancing the overall experience. At 5.8% alcohol by volume, Blackhops strikes a balance between bold flavors and easy drinkability. Whether you're a seasoned IPA enthusiast or exploring new beer styles, Moa Blackhops is a captivating offering that will challenge and delight your taste buds.
