Wild Leap Uses Experimental Hop In Latest Alpha Abstraction Release

From Wild Leap:

Wild Leap is releasing the eleventh edition in its signature Alpha Abstraction Double IPA series.
Vol. 11 features experimental hop HBC 472, making it Wild Leap’s most experimental Alpha
Abstraction yet.

The Alpha Abstraction series was created to explore hop varieties and experiment with different
flavor profiles. Vol. 11 represents that more than any Alpha before it. With aromas of bourbon
oak, berry and white grape, the flavors of this unique hop combine to create one of the most
alluring Alpha Abstractions to date.

“We were attracted to the really unique profile that HBC 472 had, but it was so unusual we
decided to do a test batch to see how well it would work with the fruity and citrusy
characteristics of the Alpha Abstraction series,” says Chris Elliott, Wild Leap’s Chief Brewing
Officer. “The combination was amazing. We immediately knew we had Vol. 11!”

Like the volumes before it, Alpha Abstraction Vol. 11 is a double dry-hopped, juicy Double IPA.
The experimental hop used in Vol. 11 complements the citrus notes associated with the Alpha
Abstraction series.

As the first Alpha release of the decade, Vol. 11 is symbolic of the ride ahead. “With everything
we do, we push ourselves to explore and bring new things to the table,” says Anthony
Rodriguez, CEO and Co-Founder of Wild Leap. “Vol. 11 is a representation of that mentality.”
Alpha Abstraction Vol. 11 will be available for purchase in the Wild Leap tasting room as well as
stores, bars and restaurants throughout Georgia this week!
