Featuring the hops Cascade, Chinook CGX, Citra Incognito, Cryo Citra, & Mosaic
Think To Swim is new age West Coast-style IPA featuring the brilliant clarity, lighter body, and crisp dryness of a traditional West Coast IPA without all of the bitterness up front.
Cascade hops were added to the mash to boost the aromatic thiol precursor content in the wort and just a dash of Chinook CGX hops were sprinkled in the kettle for balancing bitterness. The vast majority of the hops were reserved for the cold side.
Instead of adding hops to the whirlpool, we employed a technique called “dip hopping” using Citra Incognito, a highly concentrated advanced form of one of our dearest hop varietals.
Dip hopping is a technique introduced in Japan by Kirin in 2012 that has been getting some traction with brewers in the US over the past decade.
We get notes of bright orange zest, breeze through a bed of super fragrant geraniums, lemon mist, juicy white peach, cherry blossoms, red berries, hints of peppery dankness, pink grapefruit, and tropical fruit medley.

Draught at Urban: pours very clear gold with white head. Aroma is citrusy fruits, some flowers, leas pine than one would expect for the style. Taste is bright, not very bitter, not very sweet. Pretty good.
