OROS
West Coast L IPA
Oros returns. Oros was our fist attempt at a clear, west coast leaning, L IPA. We switched a few things up for this batch and are enjoying the results. This time around we use a more traditional American Ale yeast as opposed to our house ale yeast that we use for most hoppy beers. While we love our yeast it’s really hard to make clear hoppy beer with it, especially highly hopped beer. We also swapped out the Chinook from the last batch for the best lot of Mosaic cryo that might exist. The NZ cascade brings this terpy lime note with undertones of pine with the Centennial adding a lovely floral lemon aspect and the Mosaic cryo brings blueberry, mango and resin. Wrap it all up and you’ve got an incredibly bright, crisp IPA, that’s packed with hop flavor and aroma. Hard to believe it’s only 5%.
