Sierra Nevada Cyro Fresh Torpedo Wet Hop IPA brings premium hop freshness
While the Sierra Nevada classic IPA might be legendary, the brewery is never sitting on its laurels. With its newest offering, Sierra Nevada Cyro Fresh Torpedo Wet Hop IPA, the freshness brings the most intense hop flavor and beer drinkers are thirsty for more.
Beer trends continue to evolve. From partnerships with other beverage brands to infusing culinary flavors into the brew, there is no shortage of creativity through the process.
Still, brewing beer goes back to a handful of ingredients. The water, malt, and, most definitely, the hops bring the particular flavor. And, just like a recipe made in the kitchen, fresh ingredients will impact the final result and the flavor.
With the Sierra Nevada Cyro Fresh Torpedo Wet Hop IPA, the freshness of the hops makes for a more powerful hop flavor. Through a special process of storing the hops at subzero temperatures, it ensures that the just picked freshness is optimized.
Although some beer drinkers have never crushed hops or been part of the brewing process, the aroma and flavor when they are picked is intense. Think of a dried spice that has lots some of its punch over time. A similar thought can be applied to hops. This subzero storing allows the aroma, flavor and freshness to main its peak consistency.
As Sean Lavery, Sierra Nevada Technical Innovation & Brewing said, “This is the closest you can get to walking the fields, picking a hop, and rubbing it in your hands and smelling it.” One taste of this beer and hop lovers will be swooning.
In addition to the hop forward consistency, it is the tropical fruit notes that are apparent. Mixed with the brightness from citrus is the passion fruit. Although not an island breeze, the fruit flavors add to the concept that these peak flavors need to be enjoyed before they fade.
For beer drinkers who want to get this taste, the Cryo Fresh Torpedo Wet Hop IPA is available exclusively in the Hoppy Sampler Pack from Sierra Nevada. That variety pack contains Pale Ale, Torpedo Extra IPA, and Dankful Generously Hoppy IPA. It might be the holiday gift that hop lovers will celebrate.
