Red IPA

An exuberant blend of colour, flavours and aromas, Red IPA is oursignature beer. Designed and first created in 2012.
The colour of a kaka’s wing. Where tart ruby grapefruit meets berries andpassionfruit. A comforting toasty malt on the palate, rounded off with asatisfying, sustained finish.

Prepare for a wild ride with Near Miss, the Red IIPA that’s as bold as the collaboration between the mad scientists at Double Vision Brewing and the seasoned pros at Emerson's! This brew is all about New Zealand brewing, and it turns out that this recipe has landed somewhere between Oreti Red (the predecessor of Daredevil) and Red Rascal (the first beer of ours Richard Emerson loved) in terms of malt bill, process, and hop schedules... but has the throttle turned up to 8.2% to maximise the flavour!Near Miss gets its name from one of the first times we were out in Dunedin with Richard and Greg. We got Flamingo Scooters to take to town from the brewery, and Richard had never used one. The only problem we realised at full speed was that he didn’t know how to stop! He was screaming, “How do you STOP?!” while we yelled back instructions. Only when we remembered he couldn’t hear us did we look back and gesture how to hit the brakes. He slammed the brakes, put his foot down, and came to a halt right before a busy intersection. It was truly a Near Miss!

Rich malt flavour and a ruby complexion are smacked full of hops to create a stunning IPA.
