Akasha Korben D DIPA
REGION: Five Dock, NSW
SIZE: 375ml / ABV: 8.5%
From the heart of the hop cosmos comes the Korben. A dazzling constellation of Simcoe, Centennial and Mosaic with a huge passionfruit shine, soaring tropicals, subtle sweetness and a sublime bitter finish, it’s as artfully composed as the music of the spheres.
An immaculate conception of hop chemistry and creative brewing, there’s no other beer quite like this divine beast. Originally inspired by our love of Luc Besson’s timeless SF classic The Fifth Element, with its taxi skyways and shootouts and Jean Paul Gautier flair (and, of course, the beauty and the beast pairing of Milla and Bruce) the Korben is an equally influential creation… and, you could say, our signature beer.
Holding the quintessential secret of Akasha at its centre – the alchemical ether, the fifth element unifying the various facets of craft, chemistry, physics and flavour – the Korben occupies a very special place in our pantheon of beers, and is the big G of our West Coast-influenced IPA range.
