Shadow Pine Black IPA Extract Recipe Kit for Black IPA / Cascadian Dark Ale Character
Shadow Pine Black IPA is an extract-friendly version of a modern American dark IPA, drawing from the Black IPA / Cascadian Dark Ale tradition. It is built for brewers who want IPA punch with a dark malt edge, not a sweet stout with extra hops.
This kit pairs extract fermentables with specialty malts and assertive American hops for pine, citrus, dark color, and restrained roast. Choose it when you want a bolder IPA that looks darker and tastes more layered while still finishing dry and hop-forward.
This is the extract version. If you want the all-grain format for a different brew day, see the companion listing: Shadow Pine Black IPA | All-grain Recipe Kit | 5 Gallons.
