I had searched everywhere for the right vinegar, one that would finish my hot sauce in perfect balance. This year I grew a pepper that was hot as hell but with such incredible over-ripe fruit flavors. I knew fermenting would mellow them out, but I refuse to add distilled white vinegar to such a beautiful harvest. The IPA Beer Vinegar accentuates the hidden sweetness of the hot pepper while adding an amazing tartness without throwing that acidic bite in your face. Hands-down the best vinegar for this recipe, but it doesn't stop there. The malty and sour IPA puts store bought malt vinegars to shame, and it's in a different league from wine vinegars which can be too sharp for finishing some dishes. While almost expected with the classic fried fish & chips, I had an incredible experience finishing a grilled whole branzino with IPA Malt Vinegar and it was beer and barbecue in every bite. I highly recommend this vinegar to everyone who loves flavor, quality, and trying something above the ordinary. 5 Stars!
