This winter, IBUs start accumulating like snow in Colorado with our new Accumulation White IPA . Brewing a white IPA was not only a way to salute the white beauty falling from the sky, but a direct revolt to the longstanding tradition of brewing dark beers for winter and winter seasonal beers. At least that’s what our rebellious brewer Grady Hull likes to claim as he shovels in plenty of new hop varietals and a bit of wheat for a smooth mouthfeel. Stack up a few cases of Accumulation White IPA to keep your long nights glowing blizzard white.
Admin Note: Brewed until 2021. Recipe changed to a hazy IPA in 2022.

Golden with a white head - Hoppy aroma that has fruits and hints of pine - Malt body to support a fruity, citrus, grapefruit hop flavour - The citrus, grapefruit flavour goes into the finish - This was nice

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright golden color with a large creamy-soapy white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was citrus, coriander, a bit of bread and chalk. The flavor was bitter with perfume, citrus, coriander and chalk. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Pours a slightly cloudy, very light yellow, with mid-sized, pillowy head. Grassy and citrus aromas. Flavor is very citrusy (lots of lemon), with slight, muted hop bit. Some grassiness and a touch of sweetness. Rather sweet finish, too. This is not bad at all.

Pours golden, some flakes flowing around in beer, nice frothy white top. Aroma is was it usually is with white IPA’s, somewhat softer and with sour fruity notes. Sweet and has some bubbly grain feel to it, also citric. taste is also sweetish, yet refreshing and not cloying buyt finishes more or less dry. Hops are abundant but bitterness is balanced by sweetness, overall youc an get the bitterness only in the lingering finish. Maybe a tad sweet but overall quite nice and easily drinkable beer, even in winter.
