Making it’s debut alongside 25th Anniversary is Bell’s Brewing’s “The Oracle”.
Commercial Description:
Our take on the West Coast-style Double India Pale Ale, The Oracle places hop intensity first & foremost, making only the slightest concession to malt & balance. The fireworks start with the floral aromatic punch of two separate dry-hop sessions with Amarillo and NZ Pacific Jade. Resinous, citrusy hop flavors mixed with aggressive bitterness from a massive kettle addition deliver on that aromatic promise.
Beer Rundown:
Style: Imperial IPA
Hops: Amarillo, NZ Pacific Jade. Double dry hopped.
Taste Expectations: Grapefruit hops. Some citrus/pine hops. Sweet malt backbone balancing this into an intense, aggressive DIPA.
