HAMILTON, ON – Grain & Grit Beer Co. has announced the release of “a new IPA with a German twist!”
Time Flies IPA (6% abv):
We have a new beer for you this week, just in time for this beautiful patio weather! This one is an IPA that we’re calling Time Flies, featuring two brand new hop varieties from Germany —Ariana and Callista hops. These new hops bring a big punch of tangerine and sweet navel orange on the sip, with subtle ripe raspberries on the nose. We used even more German hops with the addition of Hallertau Blanc to round out the flavour profile with a touch of sweet white grapes. This medium body, low bitterness NEIPA is what you’re going to be craving all patio season!
Traditionally, German variety hops are used in Lagers and Pilsners due to their grassy, herbal qualities. More recently, German hop growers have been breeding new varieties that are fruity, tropical, and citrusy to compete with the ever so popular Yakima Valley varieties, such as Citra and Mosaic. Ariana and Callistra are new varieties that just hit the North American market and we’re stoked to be the first Ontario brewery to release a beer with this combination of hops!
Time Flies is available now at the Grain & Grit taproom, retail store and online shop.
