7% ABV, Revolution Brewing, Chicago, Illinois. From the latest League of Heroes variety pack.
Clear, bright golden hue, slim layer of white foam.
In the nose: citrus notes swiftly subsumed by tropical, orange rolls over for tangerine, passionfruit, pineapple.
In the mouth: fierce bitter bite up front, smoothing out swiftly. Citrus and tropical tones persist on the palate, grapefruit mingles with mango. Magnificent melange. Juicy, while bitterness yet reigns. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish.
I’m enjoying this one.
Tropic Hero is an American IPA brewed with 2-row and Pale malts to establish a smooth malt profile and golden color. We used Apollo, Warrior, Crystal, Cascade and Amarillo hops in the brewhouse to achieve an intense but clean bitterness and aromas and flavors of fresh flowers and citrus juice.
Near the end of fermentation we dry-hopped this beer with Mosaic, Citra, Crystal and an experimental hop #438 to infuse this IPA with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple and freshly grated citrus rind!
The resulting beer is both clean and crisp, bursting with tropical fruit character and very easy drinking even at 70 IBUs and 7% ABV.
