The Splice of Heaven Pine-Lime ice cream IPA is brewed using Tomahawk, Kohatu and Citra hops, Pale, Wheat, Oats and Crystal Malt with a dash of vanilla.

Vodka & Peach Iced Tea, Brookvale Union

While obviously not a beer, this new addition to Brookvale Union’s lineup is interesting enough to get a mention.

The lightly carbonated peach ice tea-flavour drink is a 4% abv beverage, and will be launching nationally from early September.

Brookvale Union says its Vodka & Peach Iced Tea is “punchy, dark but light, straight but saucy, tight but loose”.

It’s also available at select locations, detailed on the Akasha website.

Hybrid IPA, Ballistic Beer Co

Brisbane’s Ballistic Beer Co has launched its Hybrid IPA in collaboration with Deep Creek Brewing Co.

Ballistic’s brewers say it has the grit and bitterness of a West Coast IPA with the dry hopping schedule of the East coast, with passionfruit and gooseberry aromas as well as bursts of pineapple.

It’s made with Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy hops, Pale and Munich malt, and US-05 yeast.

The Hybrid IPA will be available in kegs and cans from August 29th, at Ballistic’s Westend and Salisbury sites as well as selected bottle shops and venues.

Holgate’s Double Decade White IPA will be launching at Bendigo on the Hop Festival on August 31st.
