Cellarmaker Brewing Co.

This is the final beer in a series of attempts to represent the new East Coast style of brewing hoppy ales. In short, these ales tend to be lightly bittered to gain a juiciness, highly aromatic from hops and yeast esters and quite hazy to completely opaque as they are unfiltered for maximum flavor and aroma. Unfortunately, some feel threatened by this style due to its unconventional appearance. We promise there's nothing wrong with this beer. It is not turbid/yeasty. The opacity comes from a colloidal suspension of hop polyphenols. In fact the beer is only slightly hazy before it's dry hopped twice. We promise there will be no sedimentation of yeast or trub or hop flakes (okay, it's unfiltered there may be a hop flake or two!) in your glass while sitting at the bar.

When we first brewed this hazy double IPA years ago we had a lot of explaining to do. A lot of people were put off by the deep haze of this beer, the soft and chewy body and the wild tropical fruit aromas from modern hops and expressive yeast. The original description even had a tongue-in-cheek declaration that we are “just kids doing kid stuff!” We didn’t let the detractors get us down, some are even friends! So apologies to the last few of you out there who still aren’t on board… We make West Coast IPA’s too! Hops: Strata, Ekuanot, Citra, Simcoe and Galaxy!
