Wyatt’s IPA Madness 2019 – Round Four

IPA MADNESS CONTINUES!

In this Fourth Round of Wyatt’s annual IPA taste competition, where you the discriminating beer drinker pick the favorite!

This year Wyatt’s is focusing better on offering everyone a chance to discover a new favorite. Join us for open, non-blind tasting all month long as we explore the wonderfullness that is the IPA category.

For Week Four, Wyatt’s brings you the West Coast Classics.

IPA Madness Round Four:

  1. Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA – Paso Robles, California: This aggressively hopped West Coast IPA showcases stunning pineapple, citrus and piney aromas along with exceptional dry hop flavors of grapefruit and tangerine. This intense brew finds its balance in honey-like pale malt sweetness. The name Union Jack is a nod to the colonial origins of the IPA style, and to the British expatriate who co­‐founded their brewery. 7.0% ABV, 60 IBU.
  2. Deschutes Fresh-Squeezed IPA – Bend, Oregon: A juicy citrus and grapefruit flavor profile. Tastes as if fresh Citra and Mosaic hops were squeezed straight into the bottle. 6.4% ABV, 60 IBU.
  3. Breakside IPA – Portland, Oregon: This beautifully clear India Pale Ale features Citra and Chinook hops. This light copper beer has huge citrus and tropical fruit aromas, with hints of perfume and pine. Flavors of apricot, guava, and orange hit the tongue accompanied by a mild evergreen note. There’s just enough caramel sweetness to balance the hop flavors, but this is really a showcase for the beautiful varieties of hops grown in the Northwest. 6.2% ABV, 73 IBU.
  4. Fremont Lush IPA – Seattle, WA: Lush is brewed with a hand-selected blend of malts and lush, tropical hops reminiscent of lime, mango, and guava. 7.0% ABV, 80 IBU.

Tasting hours for this special month-long IPA event will be Fridays through March from 4-6:45 pm, at Wyatt’s Outlaw Saloon, in the back of the store.

All tasting items are on sale!

For Week Three, Wyatt’s dives face first into the Haze Craze.

IPA Madness Round Three:

  1. River North Mountain Haze IPA – Denver, Colorado: A New England-style IPA with barley, wheat, oats, and an avalanche of Citra hops. 6.5% ABV.
  2. Odd13 Codename: Superfan IPA – Lafayette, Colorado: Highlighting Citra, Simcoe, and Ekuanot. 6.5% ABV.
  3. New Image Coriolis Effect IPA – Arvada, Colorado: Pairing up New Zealand’s Motueka hop with Citra, New Image brought together their blend of melon, tropical, and stonefruits and added a dry hop of Columbus to bring those voluptuous flavors to the surface. Sweet on the first sip while finishing dry, this beer brings an understated elegance to the standard IPA. 6.5% ABV.
  4. Weldwerks Juicy Bits IPA – Greeley, Colorado: Their version of a New England-style IPA featuring a huge citrus and tropical fruit character from the Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado hops, a softer, fluffier mouthfeel from the lower attenuation, and the characteristic New England hop haze. The end result is a beer reminiscent of citrus juice with extra pulp, thus the name Juicy Bits. 6.5% ABV.

Tasting hours for this special month-long IPA event will be Fridays through March from 4-6:45 pm, at Wyatt’s Outlaw Saloon, in the back of the store.

Oarsman Tart Wheat Ale: Tart and refreshing, this sessionable, bright Wheat Ale exudes citrus and lemony aromas from Cascade hops and trades sour intensity for finesse. A perfect companion for any occasion, Oarsman Ale is a beer based in tradition, but with that distinctive Bell’s twist. 4.0% ABV.

Flamingo Fruit Fight Tart Fruit Ale: The name “Larry’s Latest” is a nod to the spirit of innovation and experimentation that Larry started in 1985 and continues within the brewery to this day. Our latest Tart Fruit Ale is brewed with passionfruit and lime zest, resulting in a tart blend of tropical, citrus flavors and aromas. 5.0% ABV.

Two Hearted Ale American IPA:  Brewed with 100% Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest and named after the Two Hearted River in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this IPA is bursting with hop aromas ranging from pine to grapefruit from massive hop additions in both the kettle and the fermenter.
