Harpoon’s 100 Barrel #43: White IPA

14 days ago

Introducing Harpoon Brewing’s 43rd session in their 100 Barrel Series: White IPA.

I wanted to brew a uniquely American beer that would maintain the signature characteristics of two distinct styles while forging a direction of its own. Simcoe, Cascade, and Citra hops give this beer the citrus and floral notes of an IPA. while the spiciness and soft mouthfccl are more reminiscient of a Belgian Wit. I hope you enjoy this hoppy and refreshing beer. Cheers!
