Slow Rise 3DH West Coast IPA by Afro Caribbean

Slow Rise is a bold, modern Triple Dry-Hopped (3DH) West Coast IPA that showcases the vibrant character of classic American hops while embracing a contemporary approach to the style. Brewed with generous additions of Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic, this IPA bursts with intense hop aroma, balancing juicy fruit flavours with the crisp, assertive bitterness that defines a true West Coast IPA.

Built on a base of Pilsner and Maris Otter malts, Slow Rise delivers a clean, light malt backbone that allows the hops to take centre stage. Dank, citrus-forward, and intensely aromatic, it finishes dry and refreshing with a lingering bitterness that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Proudly brewed by Afro Caribbean Brewing Company, an independent South African brewery established in 2014, Slow Rise is a celebration of bold hop flavour, modern brewing techniques, and uncompromising craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Explosive aromas of grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, pine resin, citrus zest, and dank tropical hops.

Palate: Bright citrus, ripe tropical fruit, peach, and resinous pine are layered over a crisp malt backbone, delivering a bold yet balanced hop experience.

Finish: Clean, dry, and firmly bitter with lingering citrus, pine, and fresh hop character.
