Beerfarm Blood Orange IPA

In keeping with the overall essence of the 2023 GABS Australian Invitational Craft Beer 8 Packs, Beerfarm's entry pitches itself as an IPA, while presenting itself very much at the approachable end of the IPA spectrum. It also features blood orange alongside citrusy Citra and Amarillo hops.

Said fruit can often explode from a beer with an almost cordial-esque, crystalline potency, but here it's as restrained as the 5.5 percent ABV is for an IPA. With the beer presented with Beerfarm's typical clean finish, it drinks like an easygoing pale.
