Inspired by Jonathan Zierdt who passed away from cancer this spring.
We all are inspired by those that fight the battle with cancer. Hero Hazy IPA is a tribute to a gentleman who had close ties to Luplin Brewing and the Mankato Brewery. This beer is for Jonathan Zierdt and the support of those dealing with this terrible disease.
I am new to Lupulin Brewing out of Big Lake, Minnesota. Recently they began distributing to my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. This Hazy IPA they have created packs an enormous amount of tropical fruit aroma! Upfront, you will get pineapple, citrus, mango, and a touch of stone fruit notes. A nice transition from the sweet fruit notes to a spark of hop bitterness balances out this hazy IPA very nicely!
For those that like to know more about the details on the beer, here are the details.
Malts: 2-Row Barley, Flaked Barley, Spitz Malt
Hops: Citra, Eldorado, Mosaic, Mandarina Bavaria
ABV: 8.18%
IBU: 66
SRM: 6
I really enjoyed this IPA and I am looking forward to trying more beers from Lupulin Brewing!
Cheers!
