From Sprecher:
Sprecher will launch the 2015 Whole Cone Hop Series with Fresh Hop Wisconsin Lager
Fresh Wisconsin Cascade hops lend floral aromatics and green, grassy notes specific to the area where they were grown, making WIPL distinctive from other fresh hop pale lagers. Every year the flavor of WIPL is unique due to the quality of the hops, which depends on growing conditions. This year the growing conditions were more favorable than 2014, resulting in a remarkably delicious beer with compelling floral aromatics. WIPL has a crisp profile with grassy, light floral and citrus notes. At 5% alcohol by volume (abv), this is a great session beer.
The
brewmaster made 120 barrels of WIPL using 600 pounds of the fresh Wisconsin Cascade hop cones. Due to the importance of maintaining fresh hop character, WIPL will not be available in bottles, only kegs. Growler fills can be purchased at Sprecher Brewery, 701 W. Glendale Ave, Glendale, WI.
Fresh Hop Series:
In mid-November Sprecher will release the 2nd beer in the Whole Cone Hop Series, Citra Bomb featuring Simcoe and Citra hop cones.
Also in mid-November, a Belgian Pale Ale featuring with Mosaic and Equinox hop cones.
The next beer in the series makes its debut in mid-December. At present, our brewmaster is keeping this beer under wraps.
Look for the final series beer — All American Pale Ale — featuring Cascade, Mt. Hood, Citra and Simcoe hop cones, in January 2016.
