Internal Brewsletter - July 6, 2022
UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 7/8
The DAB Lab, Hop Hash: India Pale Ale// In addition to Mosaic CO2 extract and Citra hops, Hop Hash features a heady blast of Simcoe lupulin powder - a cryogenic concentration of resin and oils from whole hop flowers. Together, this pungent hop addition produces an aromatic burst of resinous, piney, and citrusy hop character, complementing subtle grist notes of bread crust and oats.// 7.00% ABV
Takeaways:
Like fresh squeezed Juice, or a medely of jolly ranchers.
Papaya. Limoncello. Nectar. Delicately sweet, waves of citrus coat the palate with a bright tropical punch. Moderate bitterness balances well with this juice-forward IPA.
Alchemize: India Pale Ale// When a top innovating company in the HOP industry drops an experimental new product on your doorstep, you jump at the opportunity to use it! Brewed with a new YCH hop product that combines Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Phantasm powder into one package, this thiolized west-coast IPA showcases the research and forward-thinking happenings in the hop industry.// 7.00% ABV
Takeaways:
Experimenting with Thiolized yeast an R&D hop product from YCH that combines Citra, Simoe and Mosaic Cryo with Phantasm powder.
Passion Fruit. Clementine. Citrus Press. Dripping with guava and passionfruit, soft bodied with bright orange citrus. Mouth coating and delicious, goes down easy.
Wandelpad: Belgian - Style Blonde Ale// Inspired by one of the finest Trappist beers we sampled in our travels through Belgium, this blonde ale was brewed with imported Belgian malts, Oregon-grown hops, and Trappist yeast. Crisp, complex, and refreshing, the result is a classic Belgian balance of fruity esters, rustic grist character, and a zesty hop finish.// 7.00% ABV
Takeaways:
Made with Traditional ingredients and naturally conditioned.
Honey. Spice. Velvety. Aromas of honey and straw play with a subtle spice and fuityness that balances with a delicate bitterness. Very refreshing.
