The StereoHopic IPA Series channels our 25+ year hop love affair into a spotlight on two special varietals at a time–and the interestingness that occurs between.
When two hops come together, the combination can be better than the sum of its parts… Experience how Elixir’s red wine grape, leather, and tobacco notes play off Loral’s velvety floral flair, resulting in a veritable bouquet of hops. It’s a peculiar polarity on your palate’s journey to the lupulin beyond!
Beverage Specs
ABV
7.2%
Beer math on ABV (Alcohol By Volume) is pretty straightforward… the Higher the ABV, the more alcohol in the beer. No rocket science necessary.
IBU
65
Generally speaking, a high IBU beer will have a more bitter taste than a lower IBU beer.
OG
1.068
The OG measures solids in the wort before fermentation to consistently arrive at the same alcohol conetent of a beer. Pretty neat, huh?
Stonefruit
Crisp, dry peaches lead the way, prepping the palate for what is to come
Floral
Notes of honeysuckle give an impression of sweetness, playing off the dry mouthfeel
Green hop
Slight notes of fresh-cut grass balance the fruity, floral nose
To single hop or double hop? SMASH Beers. Double dry hop. Early, late, middle, whirlpool, fermentation, dry hop. Terpenes. No this isn’t a bad punk rock song. It’s the things that brewers, especially IPA brewers debate and make decisions about
Taste what happens when New Zealand’s citrus/mango-y specialty, Nelson Sauvin, & one of Yakima’s heavy-hitters, Mosaic, get together. It’s truly the best of both hemispheres.
We’re going a bit blurry on this nebulous release… Hazy Memory is a cloudy IPA full of oats and smooth wheatly-esque-ish-ness, packed with some of the murkiest, juiciest, turbid Loral 291, Hallertau Blanc, Galaxy, and Citra Hops. It’s a huge flavor you won’t forget!
