Guinness recently released an IPA that is made with nitrogen. Although Guinness is known for its signature stout, this nitro-infused ale offers a different kind of drinking experience.
The new 'Nitro IPA' is a hoppy drink that contains the same qualities as a traditional Guinness pint. The new drink is brewed with Irish barley malt, roasted barley and five different hop varieties. The beer made with nitrogen and CO2, which helps to balance out the hoppy taste. While some IPAs are on the bitter side, the new Nitro IPA has a balanced flavor and aroma. The drink also features the same long-lasting head and creamy mouthfeel that Guinness fans have grown accustomed to.
The new Nitro IPA demonstrates that the iconic brewing company is beginning to experiment with new beer varieties.
