Cold IPAs utilise a cool ferment to minimise ester production, maximising their hoppy impact. In this case, we opted for a Kolsch yeast (hence the ‘K’), which accomplishes the above, while keeping things crisp AF.
The grain bill helps with that, too - a blend of malted barley, oats and rice. Remember, we’re shooting for a snappy mouthfeel, not one laden with residual sugars. Mission accomplished.
Expect some cracking hop complexity, thanks to additions throughout. The CRYO Citra is most present, with the remaining strains gifting bursts of orange and tangerine.
Well-integrated bitterness pairs with a stylistically dry finish. Enjoy kold and fresh.
