We brought you news of this beer back in January, and now I’m excited to bring you the official release details from Lost Abbey:
San Marcos, CA – Lemon and Grassy IPA, the third beer to be released from the Hop Freshener Series by The Hop Concept, will be heading to tap lines and bottle shops by the end of July.
Continuing the trend of using new and experimental hops, Lemon and Grassy harnesses Comet, Nelson Sauvin, Sorachi Ace and Lemon Drop varietals to achieve its unique flavor and aroma profile.
Aromas of freshly grated lemon zest, subtle mint and hints of biscuit start off Lemon and Grassy. Hops, hops and more hops explode on the palate. Grassy bitterness, citrus peel and the faintest sweet malt leads to a lingering clean finish.
“We’ve learned a lot from every beer in the Hop Freshener Series, but no more so than with Lemon and Grassy” said Lead Brewer Steve Burchill. “ We relished the opportunity to use hops like Sorachi Ace, Nelson Sauvin and Lemon Drop to produce a style of IPA that’s considerably different from the rest of our portfolio.”
The Hop Concept’s Lemon and Grassy IPA (8.5% ABV) will be available throughout the Port Brewing / Lost Abbey / The Hop Concept distribution network in 22oz bottles and limited draft.
