Double IPA Brewed with White Grape Skins
For this year’s anniversary beer, we found inspiration in the southern hemisphere. This double IPA is brewed with Peacharine and Riwaka hops, along with a special ingredient called Phantasm – an extract from sauvignon blanc grape skins – all sourced from New Zealand. Combined with some good old fashioned Mosaic hops from the US and an amped up grain bill and we’ve got ourselves a unique sensory experience full of dankness and tropical citrusy notes. Coming in at a smooth 9.6% in honor of the year we started: 1996.

7 months old. 12 oz. can, pours a hazy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is full of orange rind, orange zest, resinous hops, and some caramel malt. Flavour is juicy and bright, despite the age, with huge resinous hops, orange rind, grapefruit zest, and caramel malt. Bright, bitter, juicy and balanced. Excellent.

Can. A cloudy dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of peaches, lemons, spices, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of peaches, hops, lemons, malt, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Can. An almost clear one, deep golden in color and topped by a white head. The aroma is citrusy, orange and some lime, with a peachy, lightly tropical touch. Hints of pale malts. It's full-bodied, smooth and lighlty warming, with a decent carbonation. The flavor has some pale malts in the back, with orange, orange zest and some generic fruityness. Decent bitterness. A quite pleasant on, dangerously easy drinkable. 2402247

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - golden orange with a light haze. Thin white head. Nose - peach and melon. But quite elusive. Taste - sweet melon, tangy bittersweet citrus and tropical. Then pithy at the back. Palate - bittersweet, medium bodied, tangy and pithy finish. Overall - interesting.
