I had originally wanted to make this beer earlier in the year as the first red of 2025, but I was speaking with Molly Rose about a collab and suggested a grapefruit RIPA. Old mate thought it was a good idea, so we put together a recipe and he made it for Pint of Origin. I didn’t get a chance to try it though! It was all destined for Victorian tongues.

Obviously I wanted to tweak it a little, and recently bought a bunch of fresh hops from Freestyle Hops, so the rest was obvious.

Oh, also - this is the anaglyph 4 pack. I made the 3d images on a large screen, and realised now that the effect isn’t as great on a tiny label as it was on my ultrawide. I have included a copy of the image below, so fang it on the big screen to have a look if you are so inclined.

Enjoy.
