7K IPA

Team:
Santa Fe Brewing

Santa Fe , NM

Player Stats:
7K IPA is brewed way up in Santa Fe, NM, and is a dry, West Coast-ish style IPA with notes of grapefruit, citrus and tropical flavors. The hop profile combines Simcoe and Mosaic with Eldorado and Amarillo playing backup. On the palate, it starts with a touch of caramel malt sweetness that balances out the hops and finishes with a fruity, slightly resinous hop flavor and clean bitterness. It's fruity and intense with a clean hop profile and leaner malt base than other IPAs. So if you're searching for the next great IPA, just look up. Higher. No, higher. There we are.

Player Stats:
When our founder began brewing back in 1888 a few things were different, like the significantly lighter grains he used for his first IPA (we agree - he was sure ahead of his time brewing IPAs back then). The lighter grains resulted in a noticeably lighter color in the beer, which also allowed the crisp, clean hop flavor to shine through. We've re-crafted his original creation, staying true to his technique, but we've modernized the recipe with the most innovative hops available today. We're proud to share 130 years of brewing expertise with you.

Most you connoisseurs would just call him an IPA, but we call him an MPA. The Melvin Pale Ale. A welcomed hand shake to your taste buds. Light, crisp, fresh and a little bitty bitter. Lets just say he won't be that jerk that leaves you at the bar at 2am. He's low in alcohol. What a nice guy… that Hubert.

Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer. Its nickname, Hop3, comes from the brewing process: our brewers hop Loose Cannon in the boil, the hopback, and the fermenter.

Malt barley and red wheat combine to create a clean malt backbone with a foolproof flavor and mouthfeel to support America's sneak peek at Enigma, Vic Secret, Ella and Galaxy hops. The hops strum juicy and sweet aromas with headline notes of passion fruit, raspberries, pineapple and citrus. This intense, straight-up strain is Oskar Blues IPA (6.43% ABV).

Player Stats:
This IPA was brewed to exhibit the grandfather of "sexy" hops, Yakima grown Cascade. As the only hop used, massive flavors of dank grapefruit prevail, while finessed flavors of stone fruit and flowers create layers of complexity. Hopped heavily, but not excessively, this IPA shines the light back on a forgotten hero in American IPA origins.

This is a true West Coast IPA. A restrained malt profile of American 2-row, German wheat and a touch of English crystal give the beer its golden straw color and allows the hops to shine. Mosaic, Simcoe and Columbus hops provide dank aromas and flavors of tropical fruit and pine leading to a refreshing dry finish

Axis IPA

Team:
Real Ale Brewing

Blanco , TX

Player Stats:
Brewed for tap walls overrun with the white noise of West Coast IPA's, here's an offering so exotic, you'd think it was from another world. Like its namesake before it, the axis deer of Southern Asia, so too has this species of hop-forward animal magnetism come to invade the landscape of IPA's that have long held sway over the taps of Texas's finest watering holes. Tropical fruit, citrus, and a pale golden body, help keep this breed light on its feet. And with few natural predators there is little anyone can do to stop the spread. IPA may not have been born in Texas, but it will soon seem as native as the sky that stretches between its borders.

Suite 101 , TX

Player Stats:
A Pale Mosaic is our American style IPA showcasing a fairly new hop variety called Mosaic. The beer begins with a base of German Pale Ale and Vienna malts, and is brewed for a light, crisp malt body. We use Oregon grown hops for bittering, targeting 45 IBU's, and follow that up with a hefty whirlpool addition. Finally we dry-hop with Mosaic, Citra and Nugget to deliver a beer that is clean and complex with notes of pine resin, grapefruit pith and blueberries.
