Player:
Even Keel

Team:
Ballast Point Brewing and Spirits

San Diego, CA

Player Stats:
A flavorful ale that keeps you balanced. Our Even Keel is a hoppy ale designed for smooth sailing. A full-flavored beer with a silky malt backbone and a bright hop profile of herbs and citrus, it packs all the taste of an IPA in a sessionable alcohol content. This ale is perfect for leisurely days on the water, when all you want are a few beers and a level ride. Ten different malts and six different hops combine to create this full-flavored, small beer. Even Keel features a silky malt backbone and a bright hop flavor and aroma that come from the late kettle additions and dry hopping with 1.5 pounds per barrel. Even more layers of flavor are created with fermentation using our signature yeast strain. This session ale is herbaceous with additional citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit. The orange to copper hue draws you in and the low alcohol volume keeps you coming back for more.

Upon tasting CrossBones, with it's big body, smooth finish and lingering citrus flavor, it's hard to imagine that it's only 4.5%. How do we get all of the aroma and flavor from a beer like Loose Cannon into CrossBones? Avast! You'll never find me buried treasure!

This final version begins with a vibrant citrus and pine hop aroma from Simcoe and Amarillo hops and follows through with a sturdy malt profile from the combination of Pale, Vienna, Carapils, and English Amber malts. Hop forward but not too bitter, low ABV but with a significant malt body – a truly sessionable beer.

Player:
Stone Go To IPA

Team:
Stone Brewing

Escondido, CA

Player Stats:
For Stone Go To IPA, we embrace our hop obsession in a new way, funneling an abundance of lupulin-borne bitterness into a "session" IPA that delivers all the fruity, piney character of a much bigger IPA. To accomplish this, we employ "hop bursting," a new technique wherein an irrational amount of hops is added during the final phase of the brewing process to coax out extreme flavors and aromas while also imparting a burst of desirably pleasant bitterness. The result is an alpha-acid-rich beer that fans can enjoy more of without missing out on the assertive hop character.

Easy Jack

Player Stats:
Easy Jack came about when Brewmaster Matt Brynildson went to the mountain top and returned with a vision for a different kind of Session IPA, one that would be brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of newer hop varieties from Germany, New Zealand and North America. He foresaw a beer that would deliver massive hop aromas, surprising dimension, a signature malt balance and an empty glass before you knew what hit you. And so the newest member of our Jack IPA family was born.

Player:
Saranac Gen IV

Team:
Saranac Brewery

Utica, NY

Player Stats:
Gen IV is a hop-forward Session IPA which embodies four generations of Matt family brewing - Nick and Fred helped pilot brew the winning recipe so it must run in their blood. We've used Amarillo and Citra hops to deliver big tropical and citrus aroma and flavor, and wheat malt for a sturdy backbone to hold onto more hop character without driving up the ABV. How did we do it? Well, we crafted Gen IV out of White IPA, which beer experts considered one of the best in craft. And we wanted to pack an uncanny amount of hops into this beer so we used our Gas Chromatograph to measure essential oil concentrations of hops so we precisely selected Amarillo and Citra to deliver the best in aroma and flavor. We've taken our learnings and brewed a flavorful and easy drinking delight.
