Azvex Brewing Co – Volcanic Lightning (7.0% ABV)

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists!

Today Kayla is taking a break from the sours and in an unusual turn decided she wanted to cover this IPA, I for one am quite excited by this turn of events, so lets see what she makes of this one!

  1. Name: Volcanic Lightning
  2. Brewery: Azvex Brewing Company
  3. Hops: Citra, Idaho 7, & Azacca
  4. Grain: Barley, Oats & Wheat
  5. Aroma : Big hit of Grapefruit, with a touch of soap and Hop.
  6. Appearance :  Opaque amber peach in colour with a tight white head when poured.
  7. Body :  Medium bodied, with a good level of carbonation with good head retention.
  8. Taste: Very Zesty and fresh upfront, with a hoppy backing that comes forward towards the finish.

This was very fruity and tasty, but less complex to what I am used too, and in all honesty it was quite a nice change of pace.

It was quite hoppy at the finish which I am not a massive fan of but the level of carbonation was good and it makes your mouth water.

I would definitely have this one again!

Kayla’s overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
