About This Beer
Sierra Nevada Atomic Torpedo DIPA is a bold Double IPA brewed for those who want hop flavour dialled up to the maximum. At 9.2% ABV, it delivers a huge punch of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine resin, balanced by a firm malt sweetness and a warming finish. It builds on the legacy of the original Torpedo IPA but raises the stakes with even more hop intensity and strength. For anyone exploring craft beer Dublin or ordering craft beer delivered across Ireland, Atomic Torpedo is a modern classic.
