Antinous is one of our cross-continental IPAs. It is hopped generously with a blend of American and Australian hops, including Citra® and Galaxy®. Double dry hopped and crafted with German malted barley, specialty British malt, and our house ale yeast, this IPA is complex, juicy, and incredibly drinkable. We taste notes of pineapple, mango, orange sorbet, papaya, and light pine finish. It is named after Antinous (111 – 130 CE), who was a Greek youth and the lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Following his premature death, Antinous was deified by Hadrian, and he was worshipped in areas of the Roman west, such as Greece and Egypt. Due to his relationship with Hadrian, Antinous has become a symbol of homosexuality.

Pours a hazy, glowing orange-pineapple, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus and tropical fruit, with a healthy hop bitterness upfront. Soft mouthfeel. Not bad.
