Tasting Notes

Brooklyn Defender IPA pours a golden-amber with an inviting, lively white head. On the nose, bursts of juicy citrus—think grapefruit and orange peel—blend seamlessly with bright tropical fruit, hints of pine, and a subtle caramel sweetness from a balanced malt backbone. The palate opens with a robust medley of aromatic hops delivering notes of stone fruit, mango, and lemon zest, supported by a firm yet refreshing bitterness that lingers delightfully through a crisp, clean finish. It’s a sessionable, hop-forward IPA that stands up to the Perth summer yet remains satisfying year-round across South Perth, Applecross, and beyond.
