Beta IPA 28s are test batches for the summer 3-Way IPA collaboration. The brewers took hand-selected lots of Strata hops and sent it to Oast House Oils in Colorado for hop oil extraction. They also used experimental hop HBC 586, designed to have fruit salad characteristics filled with tropical fruit, citrus, and berries. And they dabbled with Beta-glucosidase, an enzyme that turns hop glycosides into water & glucose molecules and helps more fully ferment the hop sugars, boosting aroma.
