This only-brewed once hazy IPA is hopped with Chinook, Calypso, Comet and Bravo for citrusy finish.
“Challenge #19 is all about maximum fruit flavor and aroma using a distinct hop blend. This recipe yielded excellent flavors and aroma of musky melon, ruby red grapefruit, and reminds me of peeling a fresh tangerine. No fruit was added-- just a little bit of hops in the boil, and a metric boatload in the whirlpool and dry hop additions,” said Bear Republic Brewmaster Roger Herpst. “If you’re looking for a crowd pleaser, look no further than Challenge Series #19.”
Challenge Series #19 has a malt base of Two-Row, Superior Oat Malt, White Wheat Malt and Bru Malt. The Barbarian Yeast produces an ale with enhanced citrus flavors to go along with a healthy full body experience. IBU: 90

Pours a nearly clear amber with plenty of white foam in the tumbler. Aroma of papaya and lime peel. More ripe melon than orange, but it's also the usual citrus fest of these whirlpool hop fantasies. But I like that it uses a different mix of hops than the usual Citra and Mosaic. Moderate sweet malt taste goes nicely with the fruit.
Some bitterness and a nice dose of orange peel in the aftertaste. It's is not really a hazy IPA but it does have a little slippery feel from the oats. This is another a great series, like Fremont's Head Full of Dynomite. From the 16 oz can purchased at Castro Liquor & Wine.
