Don’t blink. We’re on the trail of the elusive Limited Release Tasmanian Devil Australian IPA– a beer recipe so rare and unpredictable, you might only catch the wild scent of passion fruit, peach, citrus and hop aromas, before it whirls away forever, taking its precious quantity of exclusive Australian Ale Yeast with it.

To bring you an extremely limited run of this unprecedented recipe, we braved the jungles of San Diego to secure the only existing samples of Australian Ale Yeast from the White Labs Vault. It a truly spectacular strain. Fresh, ravenous and raring to tear through your wort, fermenting the beer dry, then dropping out of suspension rapidly, leaving a very clear, clean brew in its wake.

White Labs keeps its specialty strains under lock and key, releasing strictly limited quantities into the wild. And we scored every last vial of Australian Ale yeast in the Vault, so if you want to savor the clean malt flavors this rare yeast yields, better bag this trophy beer kit now. Roaring with robust Australian Galaxy hops, raging with tropical aromas, Taz is aggressive on the palate, then quickly relaxes into a creamy balance against sparkling, silky Maris Otter malt. Devilishly delicious and so limited, it will be extinct before you know it. Sink your claws into this unique Limited Edition recipe kit while you still can.

Brewmaster Brad Notes
Tasmanian Devil IPA is a showcase of clean malt character and the bold flavors of Australian hops and ale yeast. 3 ounces of Galaxy hops provide this recipe with awesome hop flavors and aromas of prominent citrus, tropical fruit and faint earthiness. Coupled with exclusive White Labs Yeast Vault Australian Ale yeast specially ordered just for this recipe kit, the resulting beer is stunningly complex. This great yeast strain is a bit of a beast, boasting relatively high attenuation to dry the beer out, good flocculation characteristics to produce a clear beer, and restrained flavors to let the grain bill and hop charges really stand out.
