Akasha Blacksmith Black IPA

Akasha’s Black IPA, on the other hand, was developed as an IPA through and through before being reverse engineered to find the point where the darkness could could fit in. The result is an IPA that is black. Using only US hop varieties, it’s plump with pine and resin and gives you delicious little citrus fruit tingles, but has precious little roast character - the kind of beer that'd be an interesting to throw into a blind tasting of paler IPAs and see how it fares. Whatever your colour, these guys certainly do know how to turn out a quality IPA.
