Featuring the Hops Cascade, Chinook CGX, Citra Incognito, Cryo Mosaic, Cryo Citra, Mosaic, & Citra

This new age West Coast-Style Imperial IPA features the brilliant clarity, lighter body, and crisp dryness of a traditional West Coast IPA without all of the bitterness up front.

To create this modernized Imperial IPA we combined several late hopping techniques more commonly utilized in “hazy juicy” IPAs to saturate the beer with hoppy aromas and flavors without overwhelming hop bitterness.

Uncharted Waters was brewed with a base of extra pale premium pilsner malt along with flaked rice to lighten the body and color.

Cascade hops were added to the mash to boost the aromatic thiol precursor content in the wort and a dash of concentrated Chinook CGX pellets were added as a first wort hop addition for some balancing bitterness. The vast majority of the hops were reserved for the cold side.

We get notes of bright orange zest, tangerine juice, fragrant geraniums, lemon mist, juicy white peach, cherry blossoms, red berry medley, hints of peppery dankness, tropical passion fruit, and pink grapefruit.
