♦Some of the beers I enjoyed over the last week that deserve a little extra recognition!
Stillwater Artisanal: Nu-Tropic IPA
India Pale Ale with Mango & Passionfruit
6% ABV
Crux Fermentation Project: Play Wave Pale (NW Pale Ale, 5 ABV, 35 IBU)
The pursuit of the perfect wave (or beer, for that matter) never ends. But with Play Wave, we’ve crafted a refreshing ride that’ll keep you paddling back out for more. With Mosaic, Galaxy, and Centennial hops added at the tail end, this easy-drinking NW Pale Ale is a tidal wave of citrusy goodness, without the bitter wipeout. Keep chasing your wave, and we’ll keep chasing ours.
Full Sail Brewing Co(2017): 8 Pound Pale (Fresh Hop Ale, 5.6% ABV, 54 IBUs)
Farm to tank in three hours- 2017 Fresh Hopped 8 Pound Pale Ale explodes with bright tropical notes. A blend of pale and wheat malts created a light golden base which we packed with Willamette Valley grown Centennial Hops, only hours off the vine. Beautiful fresh-hop aromas of tropical fruit and citrus are complimented nicely with subtle malt notes. This refreshing beer is high on hop aromatics yet well balanced.
