33 Acres Brewing Nirvana IPA - 50 Litre Keg

33 Acres of Nirvana is the quintessential West Coast IPA from Vancouver’s 33 Acres Brewing Company. While many modern IPAs have trended toward extreme haze or tropical sweetness, Nirvana remains a steadfast tribute to the classic, balanced, and punchy IPAs that defined the craft movement. It is designed to be a "high-alpha" experience that remains incredibly clean, allowing the quality of the hops to resonate without being weighed down by heavy malts.

Beer Description

This West Coast IPA pours a luminous, clear golden-amber with a rocky, long-lasting white head and active carbonation.

Aroma: It features a sharp and intoxicating hop bouquet. Expect dominant notes of resinous pine needles and zesty grapefruit peel, rounded out by subtler hints of dried apricot and floral honey.

Palate: On the tongue, it is medium-bodied with a crisp, assertive presence. It leads with a lean, crackery malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a massive wave of hop flavor—ranging from citrus pith to dank forest floor. It finishes with a firm, cleansing bitterness that lingers pleasantly.

Profile: It has a robust ABV of 7.0% and a high bitterness of approximately 70 IBU, making it the "big brother" in the 33 Acres core lineup.

Technical Notes: Brewed with a focused selection of Pacific Northwest hops and a clean-fermenting ale yeast. The malt bill is kept purposefully simple to provide just enough structure to support the high hop load, ensuring the beer remains dry and "bright" rather than syrupy or overly sweet.
