Discover Alora - A bold and hazy craft beer
At St Ives Brewery, we take pride in creating beers that push the boundaries of flavour, and Alora, our 6% double dry-hopped IPA, is a true testament to that philosophy. This bold and hazy brew is a sensory delight, crafted with precision and care to deliver a unique tasting experience - it embodies our commitment to 'the art of brewing'.
Hop to it
Alora features an exciting blend of two distinctive hop varieties that define its character:
Alora: This newly named hop from the USA is a game-changer in the world of brewing. Its unique oil composition offers a tantalizing medley of peach, apricot, sweet melon, and yuzu fruit. These flavours create a vibrant and utterly distinctive profile that sets Alora apart.
Sultana: Another relatively new addition to the brewing scene, Sultana boasts an impressively high oil content. It brings notes of pineapple, pine, and citrus to the mix, adding depth and balance to the beer. Together, these hops form a harmonious duo that creates a truly well-rounded IPA.
Appearance and Aroma
Pouring a hazy yellow, Alora is as striking in the glass as it is on the palate. Its aroma is an inviting burst of yuzu, pineapple, and tropical fruits, hinting at the complexity within. A true modern craft beer by all accounts, boasting that inviting haze and colour, once poured, you'll be chomping at the bit to get into it.
Flavour Profile
From the first sip, Alora delivers a cascade of tropical and fruity flavors. The interplay of peach, apricot, and melon from the Alora hop blends seamlessly with the pineapple, pine, and citrus notes of Sultana. The result is a complex and layered IPA that surprises and delights with every taste.
A Balanced Finish
Alora’s finish is as impressive as its initial flavours. Long-lasting and beautifully balanced, it leaves a refreshing impression that lingers just enough to keep you coming back for more.
Whether you're a seasoned craft beer drinker or simply looking to try new flavours, Alora is a hazy IPA that demands attention.
