Asterisk Rice IPA. A collaboration with our friends in MN Lupulin Brewing Company, we sat out to create a dry and snappy hazy IPA by adding a substantial part of rice to the grain bill. We chose a new experimental yeast which utilizes thiols to mimic white wine characteristics and paired the accompanying dry hop to play in the realm. Hopped intensely with Nelson Sauvin, Citra Cryo, Sabro, and Zappa. This IPA set out to mimic a New Zealand white wine and we succeed in that along with creating something unique.

Had Asterisk at the SoPro Taproom on draft into Willi Becher, and also poured from pint can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on "10/06/21," into nonic pint.

Pours light orange juice, with 1- to 2-finger creamy near-white head, with good retention, leaving etched rings of lace down the glass. Aromas of dry malt and light citrus off pour, with a bit of dry-hopping resin, and then aromas of melon, sweet and sharp stone and tropical fruits as warms. Begins all biting hops and carbonation, then dry-hopping resin, which carries through varied fruits, including sweet and sharp stone fruits, barely revealing a mild malt backbone, and into a very crisp, moderately bitter finish.

Seriously hazy New England pour, and subtle but immensely varied fruit aromas and flavors, but delivered in a dry, biting package.
