Alvarado Street and Moonraker made some far out beer….man…

This is Spaced Out, courtesy of Chauncey of AllThingsBeer510!

 

 

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Snifter
Notes: Using a blended yeast strain to drive tropical aromatics and flavor compounds, we’ve then used both cryo and traditional pellets in the dry hop for an uber bright, fruity & dank hop character. The addition of Oregon estate heirloom barley from Mecca Grade Malting and a sizable portion of Spelt gives it a pillowy, chewy texture.. (8.1%)
Rating: 4.25/5
