Jetty Road's IPA is a past gold medallist at the Australian International Beer Awards and it's not hard to see what the judges found to enjoy. There are bigger, brasher and more bitter IPAs out there, for sure, but here the focus is on taking the sort of joys to be found in their Pale and ramping things up – just not too far.

The beer sits sub-6 percent ABV with Blake Bowden focusing on squeezing as much character as he can from the US hop varieties Ekuanot and El Dorado. I picked up ripe paw paw, sweet red berries and a light caramel sweetness amid the lightly hazy, golden liquid, while the faintly earthy bitterness is there to wrap things up rather than knock you about, leaving you with an easy-going IPA at the sweeter end of the style spectrum.
