Big In Texas has everything you love about a hazy IPA packed into a slightly lighter body with a more crisp, refreshing finish.
One of the ways this was achieved was by fermenting this hoppy ale on the cooler side with a kölsch yeast strain, imparting lager-like smoothness and complementary fruity esters.
The name Big In Texas is a nod to the the brewing scene in Austin where this sub-style of IPA has been popular for its nuanced ability to quench thirst in the intense Texas heat while still delivering some serious hoppy aromas and flavors.
Big In Texas was brewed with a large proportion of wheat and oat malts for a softened mouthfeel and hops were reserved for the whirlpool and two massive dry hop additions with a blend of Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, and Citra.
We get notes of ripe Anjou pear, Key lime, sweet resinous pine, apricot preserves, honeydew melon, peach lemon tea, grapefruit zest, geraniums, and PNW hop fields.
