Collaboration with @ten7brewingco
Back in April of 2022, we brewed up a beer with our buddies at @Ten7BrewingCo called Venomous Seduction, a West-Coast Style IPA brewed with Medusa hops that featured the infamous, snake-haired gorgon known as Medusa on the label.
Today we are excited to announce the release of part 2 of our collaboration - an Imperial West Coast-Style IPA called Stheno.
According to Greek mythology, Stheno was the elder sister of Medusa, who was known to be even more aggressive and ferocious.
Stheno was brewed with a base of Golden Promise pale barley malt and a touch of flaked rice. It was hopped early and often in the kettle with Centennial, Chinook, Amarillo, and Simcoe.
Stheno was fermented nice and dry with an old Newark ale yeast strain and then dry hopped aggressively with Centennial, Amarillo, and Simcoe.
You can expect potent aromas of Pacific Northwest hops, pronounced bitterness, and a dry finish that lingers with spicy, citrusy, and piney hop flavors.
We get notes of coniferous forest, Citrone zest, grapefruit pith, dank, sticky pine, pungent earthy spice, juniper, and tangerine peel.

16 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Frothy beige head. Fresh fruit aroma hints at pineapple and citrus. Flavor upfront is crisp and bittersweet. Notes of resiny pine, black pepper and candied citrus peel. Flavor profile matches the style.
