Dark Rock Session Series India Pale Lager Kit

Dark Rock Session Series India Pale LagerThe IPL style has evolved from a combination of IPA and lager. This beer is deliciously refreshing and bright, with a delightful aftertaste and aroma provided by Motueka and Simcoe dry hops. A perfect beer to compliment a good curry or a barbeque. You will need to add either a Dark Rock Lager Beer Kit Enhancer (recommended) or 1Kg Brewing Sugar to make this kit.

Session Series

The new Session Range from Dark Rock Brewing takes kit brewing to a new level. High quality hopped malt extracts are matched with carefully selected blends of the freshest dry hops, to produce delicious beers with enticing aromas. These kits are simple to make and fast to clear and mature. From fermenter to glass within a month, and results which are of commercial quality. The range follows the best styles from around the world and includes a powerful West Coast APA, which packs a hoppy punch from the latest crop of Citra and Simcoe hops. From down under, there are three carefully selected styles; a New Zealand Pilsner, New Zealand Riwaka Pale Ale, and an Aussie Gold Ale. They are true to the Southern Hemisphere styles. An English Amber Ale and Canadian Craft Ale provide a more traditional amber style, with hops that are true to the malts, to provide a balanced moreish taste. Finally, a newer style, which is set to be a trendsetter is the India Pale Lager. The IPL uses Motueka and Simcoe hops to produce a hybrid style which is a cross between a lager and IPA. The result is a refreshing lager with a delicate hoppy taste and aroma. Perfect for summer barbeques and to compliment curry evenings. These kits are dead easy to make and produce beer as good as you can buy in a pub for around 40p per pint. With value like that, what’s not to like.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:

To make this kit, you will either need 1Kg Brewing Sugar or 1Kg Lager Beer Kit Enhancer (Preferred). Later, you will also need sugar or carbonation drops to prime the keg or bottles for the secondary fermentation. We also advise using finings like Starbrite to ensure your lager clears quickly and the sediment sticks to the bottom on the bottle or keg.

This my first bucket brew from a kit. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. After brewing and bottle conditioning/carving I have a great tasty and clear beer. Highly recommended.

When I first poured this I thought “Wow!” It was like someone had just ripped open a tangerine under my nose. Then when you taste it, you almost expect it to taste like fruit juice, but it doesn’t. It’s clean and crisp and refreshing like a good lager. I suspect this might be back on the menu for the summer (if we get one).

This is dead easy to brew, being a kit – but has the addition of hops to give it ‘proper’ flavour (and makes me feel like i’;m not just brewing from a simple kit, when i actually am!). I’m genuinely impressed with how it turned out. Comes with enhancer which really helps take away the ‘homebrew’ taste and you’re left with a brew that tastes like real draught. The only slight downside is the hops floats about in the brew so I recommend a syphon sock to manage that.

So far my favourite dark rock extract kit! Nice smooth larger with a really nice fruity tropical hop taste not as heavy as some pale ales but still has some body too it. Good summer beer but nice anytime
