“It’s a classic IPA with an assertive yet balanced bitterness and light malt body, and a hearty helping of Bundaberg Small Batch Spiced Rum,” said Chris. “The rum, with its sweet dried spice nose of cinnamon and clove pair perfectly with the citrus nose from a heavy load of Citra hops, all finished off with a gentle addition of local ginger from both Bundaberg and Eumundi.”

“While beer and rum are from very different drink spheres,” Chris wanted to create “some magic” in the one glass. Feeling “confident it would work,” Chris is happy to confirm: “the union of flavours is indeed a winner.”
“Finally, we can deliver a rum-influenced IPA to the beer lovers of Queensland! And we’re proud to have teamed up with a crew that has such a strong local footprint to do it. The opportunity to create Eu-Bundy IPA was a fun and interesting way to stretch our creative legs using our globally awarded Small Batch Spiced Rum, as well as bring our iconic rum to more Queenslanders. Now there’s no need to choose between the two!”
