Running Through Screen Doors

It had been a while since we had danced in the double digits. When one of our favorite IPA-centric festivals, Green City, came calling, it gave us an excuse to dial up a triple IPA.

For RTSD, we brought together a mix of Talus, Strata, and Galaxy to explore the interplay between two fan favorites (Strata and Galaxy) and a more infrequent hop selection (Talus). Imagine biting into a juicy tangerine, the zest exploding on your palate – that’s the Talus contribution, adding a refreshing citrus punch with a hint of spicy peppercorn for an intriguing complexity. The intense passionfruit presented by Galaxy hops transports you to a tropical paradise, bursting with mango and stone fruit notes, creating a juicy and intensely aromatic experience. Finally, Strata adds a layer of earthy, piney, and herbal character, balancing the sweetness and creating a well-rounded finish.

Beyond the hopscape, we employed the Conan yeast strain, known for its ability to accentuate the juicy, tropical hop flavors. The base rests on a Pilsner malt, ensuring a clean and crisp platform for the hop expression to shine.

Running Through Screen Doors isn’t your average hop bomb. It’s a meticulously crafted exploration of hop character, offering a complex and nuanced drinking experience for true beer aficionados.
