Hey Hey Hey! Dry Hopped Mixed Culture Foeder IPA!

“Eternal Mourning: Citra” is the third release in a long period of experimentation that’s been happening behind the scenes here at DSSOLVR. One of the first beers we brewed was a base IPA composed of 100% Riverbend Malt 2-Row, Oats, and Wheat and hopped extremely aggressively with Simcoe, Amarillo, and Crystal. We then knocked that beer out into a fresh Cylindroconical Foeder (hell yeah!) from Foeder Crafters, and fermented it with our proprietary House Mixed Culture, where it resided untouched for damn near a year. It’s since been used in a Solera method as our “Base Funky IPA”, so we pull off small portions and dry-hop the bejeezus out of it. This time we used Citra, and allowed it to naturally condition in bottles and kegs with Walker Honey Farms Wildflower Honey and a dash of our Mixed Culture. Almost a full year later, here we are! Hey Hey Hey!

The Eternal Mourning base gets a different dry hopping each time, as we only pull off small portions into our Puncheons for any sort of secondary treatment. We’ve done Idaho 7 and Huell Melon, and we think Citra is the best one by far! The extended bottle conditioning time really kicked things up a notch, too!

Just a straight punch in the face with a fist full of funk, followed up with a big ol’ blast of dried Mango wedges, a cute lil’ tropical fruit cup after a long day, running through a field of Wheat with a fresh glass of Clementine juice, a touch of fresh Pine sap, and just the faintest balancing wisp of acidity.
