About this release

New England IPA with Nelson Sauvin and Ekuanot hops on a soft base of Maris Otter, oats, wheat and Carapils. A classic combination where tropical fruit meets the characteristic white grape character of Nelson Sauvin. Juicy and round, with gooseberry, stone fruit and a subtle bitterness in the finish. Close To Paradise is an impressive example of the expertise of Whiplash, the leading Irish brewery from Dublin. This 6.3% strong beer shows why Whiplash has developed from gypsy brewer to recognised specialist in hoppy beers, particularly in the field of IPAs and Pale Ales. Their reputation for quality and consistency is reflected in every aspect of this brew. The beer combines the complex hop profiles of Nelson Sauvin and Ekuanot with a refined base of Maris Otter, oats, wheat and Carapils. The result is a juicy and round beer in which tropical fruit harmoniously combines with the characteristic white grape character of Nelson Sauvin. The finish displays gooseberry and stone fruit, rounded off with a subtle bitterness that ensures perfect balance. A beer that lives up to its name and fits perfectly into the portfolio of this respected Irish brewery.
