We teamed up with our bud-skis at @pettythievesbrewing to bring you our a brand-spanking new Strawberry DDH Hazy DIPA, the style everyone’s been seeking out and unable to find! HUZZAH! “SPY SEEKER” is here to help you find that little slice of hoppy-fruity-zen you’ve been hunting for!
Does anyone else remember those “I Spy” books from way back in the day? Those were sick as hell, right? As an adult, I cannot fathom how much of a pain it must have been to make those set pieces, but I assume it’s about as hard as trying to find all the little things to tweak to hone the process of making high-quality Fruited DDH DIPA. Right? Everyone can relate to this exact example here? Just us and Petty Thieves? Okay, whatever. We wanted to select a hop blend to be utilized at the specific points in the process that would maximize “Berry” characteristics, and we seriously SERIOUSLY succeeded. This thing is INTENSE, and we really relied most heavily on the hops, using the fruit as simply a base foundation.
Mashed with a base of 100% @Riverbendmalt, comprised of Chesapeake Pilsner, Oats, Wheat, and Chit Malt to give an amped up and luscious body, hopped on the hot side with Belma and hot-dipped in the Fermenter with Mosaic Dynaboost, and then fermented with our House Hazy IPA yeast. Dry-hopped once with a heavy dose of Strata and a whole mess of Strawberry, spunded for natural carbonation, and then double-dry-hopped with Anchovy, Mosaic Cryo, Galaxy Terpenes, and Strawberry Terpenes.
Notes of a fruit cup of overripe Strawberries and Blueberries, a fresh lil’ Strawberry Shortcake treat with a dollop of Whipped Cream, a bit of underlying dankness that immediately morphs into SUPER bright fruit leather, little Watermelon Jolly Rancher hard candies, and some pretty cool Flintstones Orange Push Pop vibes. It’s both INCREDIBLY fruit-forward and INCREDIBLY hoppy. This makes us VERY happy to hit the nail on the head so firmly.YUHHHHH!
