IT IS BACK YET AGAIN AND IT IS DECIDEDLY BETTER AND WE ARE FRICKIN PUMPED! “The Hustle is Heartbreak” is returning, with (once more) a few more tweaks to the process. Now that we’ve learned a thing or two about clear hoppy beers, we’ve really enjoyed bringing this series back a few times to make sure our process changes are moving in the right direction. Good news: THEY STILL ARE!
And now we’re going to designate the more malty-orange hued and old-school, citrus-dank, classic C-hop-focused, clear IPA’s as “American IPA” within the “Hustle” series. So that’s…cool? Honestly, giving some distance between “American IPA” and “West Coast IPA” has been a small tinkering project internally here for a while, and we’re excited to finally lift the veil and bring back the HUSTLE.
Mashed with @Riverbendmalt Chesapeake Pilsner and Chit, along with a very tiny percentage of high-kiln Crystal Malt for color and complexity. Hit HARD on the hot side with Columbus and Citra and then hot-dipped with Chinook Dynaboost, fermented low and slow with our American Ale yeast for maximum dryness and spunded for dat natural carb. Dry hopped one time (but aggressively) with Citra, Cascade, and a fatty dab of Columbus Cryo.
Notes of Lemon pith in a coniferous forest, Orange Julius with a Pine Sap rim, gleaming the cube after a good spliff, and that first righteous pint of Tricerahops you had from way back when.
It is clear, it is malty, it is orange, it is bitter, it is dry, and it is dank. Hell yeah. Shred that gnar gnar. GOD DAMN! We’re so glad to breathe life back into this series. As always, the label was crushed by the one and only @jade.o.lantern!
