Embrace the spirit of the season with Balthazar Red IPA, our holiday-inspired brew crafted to honor Saint Balthazar, the legendary King of Arabia and bearer of myrrh. This bold, garnet-hued IPA is rich in character, with layers of malt complexity that lend both full-bodied flavor and a beautiful, deep red color. Each sip is a journey, starting with generous specialty malts that bring hints of caramel and mild roasted undertones, balanced perfectly by an artfully selected hop blend.
We’ve chosen CTZ, Centennial, Chinook, Mosaic, and Southern Promise—a unique South African hop with spicy, botanical fruit flavors and aromas that might just evoke the essence of myrrh itself. This complex hop profile unfolds with resinous bitterness and a bouquet of tropical fruit, delivering waves of grapefruit, melon, and kiwi to round out the tasting experience.
