The StereoHopic Series channels our 25+ year hop love affair into a spotlight on two special varietals at a time–and the interestingness that happens between. This second volume shows what happens when the elusive Alsatian Elixir hop and its red-wine grape notes mingle with Yakima's new noble & floral Loral hops.

The mild aromas are a little dry grass, some Citrus Hops and hints of caramel malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, slightly more bitter than sweet with good carbonation, and some metallic qualities. An okay bitter finish.

Good flavor, but just a BIT too hoppy for my tastes.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear gold with a half finger of foam. Floral hop aromas with some light herbal notes and vinous muscat as it warms. More of the same on the palate with a nice grape and slightly floral, earthy flavor. Interesting hop combination, very unique.
