Training Haze

Revolution’s first attempt at a hazy IPA is smoother, softer, and less bitter than any previous IPA we’ve brewed. We brewed this with over 30% oats to create a creamy, smooth, mouthfeel. Very few hops were added in the hot wort, opting instead for a double dry-hop, before and during fermentation. We chose Citra, Galaxy, and Nugget hops for their big citrusy and fruity character and exceptionally high oil content. Finally, we used a specialty yeast noted for its dynamic, peachy esters.

The result is a big, juicy, hop bomb of a beer, with enough bitterness to keep it from being saccharine, that finishes crisp and refreshing. Orange juice, grapefruit, and peach flavors are carried by the silky oatmeal mouthfeel to make for a pleasant and refreshing IPA. We used no finings in the beer to preserve its delicate golden haze.
