Double New England Style IPA
It’s collaboration time!!
For this beer, Herndon’s Aslin Beer Company reaches all the way out to Drecker Brewing Company in Fargo, North Dakota! Appropriate to Drecker’s whole viking ethos (look it up; they have a whole, viking ethos), the two have built this beer around LalBrew Voss Kviek yeast. (If you don’t know — and we didn’t — it was Sigmund Gjernes at LalBrew Voss who started maintaining this Norwegian yeast culture in 1980 and who then shared it with other brewers.) Just wait, it gets even better.
So, after fermentation with Voss Kviek yeast the beer that would become Notes from the Underground was double dry-hopped with a tasty collection of hops — Sultana, Sabro, Citra, and NZH107 (an experimental New Zealand hop that’s so new it doesn’t even have a swanky name yet)!
The combination of hops and yeast creates a Double New England Style IPA that has strong fruit notes. We’ve had NEIPAs boast having “pineapple” flavors before, but this is the first one that really delivers. You might be able to get a little coconut from the Sabro hop, but we get just a touch of pine (maybe from the Citra???) that, in concert with the other flavors, gives a minty flair to the top of the sip.
If you like juicy NEIPAs the way we do, you might want to sit down and “take a few notes” from this underground. (Too cheezy? Fair enough. Too cheezy.)
Bonus Beer of the Week (‘Cause you never fail with another ale …) (… unless you’ve had too many already — Please drink responsibly.)
