It seems 2024 is turning into of the ‘year of the bright IPA’ with phenomenal releases rolling out one after the other, many of them in super affordable multi-packs too. Atlanta Bright IPA is the very latest, from Auckland’s Urbanaut. Powered by the classic trio of Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka and Motueka, Atlanta delivers an ultra-clean and crisp aroma of lemon and lime citrus, buoyed by a touch of passionfruit bounce. Compact and focused on the palate, with a finely balanced bitterness and near absolute purity.
It’s an exceptional IPA, and it does it all with only 4.6% abv. At that strength Atlanta could rightfully be called a session beer, and luckily too, as this is one of the most devastatingly smashable drops I’ve tasted all year.
