Rainbow After the Storm

With Hurricane Florence wreaking havoc in Eastern North Carolina, the good people of the Raleigh Homebrewer’s Association (RHBA) wanted to team up to help out. In doing so, they also wanted to test the waters with an emerging new beer style, the brut IPA. The idea behind the beer is to create a dry, low-bittered IPA that resembles sparkling white wine such as brut champagne. To achieve this we selected fruit-forward hops and used the lightest malt base possible. Fermented with Norwegian Farmhouse style yeast known as kveik, the yeast lends a unique fruity quality similar to pear cider. While the hop bitterness is low, the flavor and aroma is pungent with characteristics of tropical fruits, white grape, stonefruit and pear. This beer is highly carbonated, dry and finishes clean.
