A collaboration with our friends at Homes Brewery.
It's no secret that the Homes crew is behind the incredible Smooj Smoothie Seltzers, which are revolutionizing the seltzer game and very much inspired us to create our Bubble Bath hard smoothies. But this talented crew has been putting out next level smoothie sours and sour IPA's for years, and certainly know their way around hops. For this beer, we decided to step out of our comfort zone a bit and approach a style these folks absolutely nail, a Sour Double IPA with lots of fruit!!
We’ve chosen a Hazy Double IPA as the base, loaded with Simcoe, Strata & NZ Waimea hops, and carefully layered a blend of tropical fruits (Mango, Passionfruit) along with red & dark berries (Raspberry & Black Currant). There’s a touch of milk sugar and vanilla to round out the acidity & intense hopping rate to provide balance. It really provides the best of both worlds; acidity and massive fruit character to those who enjoy sour beers with a hoppy back note and fluffy texture for hazy IPA lovers to embrace. Kind of like a fruited hop candy milkshake if you ask us! And that color....
