Heavy Seas (Baltimore, MD) has launched their newest bottle offering – Riptide White IPA. This new brew is a crossover of sorts, as it has the malt body of witbier, but hopped like an IPA. The best of both worlds really as the weather warms up.
When brewing Riptide the brewery filled the hopback (a piece of brewery equipment used to hop your beer) with orange peel, and coriander, in addition to a healthy hop dose. The finished product is fun to sort out with each sip.
