About This Beer
Lineman I Might Be Wrong Black IPA is a bold and layered ipa beer that combines dark malt richness with bright hop character, making it a standout within craft beer Ireland. Brewed by Lineman Brewery at 6.5% ABV, this beer offers a unique take on the IPA style by blending roasted flavours with crisp bitterness and a clean finish.
The flavour profile is built around the contrast between roasted malts and vibrant hops. Dark malts deliver notes of coffee, cocoa, and lightly toasted grain, while the hop bill brings citrus, grapefruit, and pine. This balance creates a beer that is both rich and refreshing, with bitterness cutting through the malt sweetness for a clean, structured finish.
Compared to traditional ipa beer styles, this black ipa beer offers greater depth and complexity due to its roasted malt backbone. At the same time, it remains lighter and more hop-forward than a classic stout beer, making it a versatile option for those who enjoy both styles. It also delivers significantly more character than standard lager beer, while maintaining drinkability.
If you are interested in exploring more hop-forward beers, you can discover similar styles within our IPA & Pale Ale collection, where a variety of craft beer Ireland options are available. You can also explore more Irish brewing within our Irish Craft Beer range.
