Why should American beers get to have all the fun? Essence of Juiciness is a traditional German Kolsch that we hopped like an American Imperial IPA for next level deliciousness. It was brewed with a routine malt bill of Pilsner malt and malted wheat, but we amped this baby up to 8% ABV! First fermented cold with a customary Kolsch yeast to preserve the flavors of its whirlpool-only hops, this brew was then double dry-hopped at nearly 4 lbs. per barrel with Citra Lupulin Power for a blast of citrus, German Blanc hops for notes of gooseberry and lemongrass, and Sabro hope for wonderful mango and coconut flavors.
