Shedshaker Brewing Knucklehead Rye IPA

Castlemaine Brewing Co’s Rye IPA brings together big notes from both its malt and hop profiles without any sign of collapsing like the comedy trio with whom its name is most closely associated. The beer’s lashings of Australian and American hops bring with them big flavours of tropical fruit, pine and a lingering hit of blood orange.

While the rye in the malt profile leans heavily towards notes of a peppery spice, those flavours are balanced by a soft sweetness from the remaining combination of malts in the mix.
