With a soft malt wheat and oat malt base and juicy hops, this cold IPA balances cleanness with mouthfeel and tropics
[Character]This hazy East Coast-inspired cold IPA Has heaps of tropical hops, wheat, and oats, giving an easy drinking pillowy mouthfeel accompanied by tropical citrus, berry, and stone fruit flavors.[Food Pairing]Middle Eastern salad with plenty of parsley and mint, chicken thighs with lettuce, thyme infused stew, bonito and onions, aioli sauce infused dishes topped with salad[Naming]We went West Coast/East Coast themed for this two beer mini-series, but rather than focusing on the rougher side of East-West rivalry, we felt that the more creative side of breakdancing was a better fit, bringing in a bit of a parallel between the creativity of the art and craft beer making.[Brewer's Voice]The second in our series of Cold IPA’s I looked back to my time brewing on the east coast for inspiration of this beer. The east coast style is soft, very low bitterness, and more fruit forward hops. These flavors accompany lager yeast beautifully, as similar characteristics are found in many good lagers. So, we took this formula and turned up the hop intensity with a nice clean lager fermentation. The base beer is made up of a blend of golden promise and Maris otter, both high quality and soft flavorful base malts. With that base we softened it up even further and added a bit of haze and body with a large helping of equal parts oats and wheat. In true East coast fashion, we went for soft but impactful hops for this beer. Mosaic, Riwaka, and Kohatu add a complex layer of berries, stone fruit, melon and tropical flavors. Then on top of that we added a bit of Citra to brighten everything up with some tropical citrus flavors. The overall effect is a soft, hugely drinkable tropical clean beer that's low on bitterness, perfect for any lover of modern hoppy beers.StyleEast Coast Cold IPASeriesKBC2.0ABV6.5%IBU20Gas Volume2.65CategoryBeerJAN4589718742434Shipping Start2025/04/01About shipping datesPlease note that, when multiple items are ordered together, they will be shipped out after the shipping start date of the latest product in the order.Best Before2025/09/30
