It`s a high time for a new ART+ collab, this time with our friends from Seven Island Brewery located in Greece. We decided to go for a juicy, New England DIPA style brewed with a (unconventional for us) grist made of barley, wheat and flaked oats.
Hopped in the kettle and dry hopped with Strata (yes, we may have a problem using this hop too
much, but we just love it!), Citra and Belma.
As always in our hazy beers, fermented with our Secret Sauce protocol to get a higher
biotransformation and squeeze the juiciness of the hops even more. This is pure tropical fruits like
ultra ripe mango and guava mixed with papaya bubble gum.
Seriously juicy & incredibly tasty!
Malts/extract:
Barley and wheat malts, flaked oats.
Hops:
Our 2020 favourite, Strata, is back with the new harvest. As good or better than last year!
Blended with Citra and a new variety to us – Belma.
Best when it`s fresh!
Such intensely hopped beers tastes insanely, especially fresh! Hop aroma decreases over time. Therefore, treat this beer with particular care, keep it in a dark and very cool place (the fridge will be a good solution) and do not wait – drink fresh!
