Whether your idea of enjoying the dog days of summer includes gardening, lawn work, or just sitting on the porch beating the heat, we offer our White IPA: light in body, but hoppy enough to know that this isn’t just any run-of-the mill lawn mower beer. On the west coast, we are partial to our hoppy beers; but we here at Black Diamond love to experiment in the Belgian fashion. By combining the sessionability of a witbier and the citrus qualities of Pacific Northwest hops, our White IPA satisfies on all fronts. It is a Belgian IPA? Not really. A hoppy wit? Maybe. Perfect for summer? We think so. Pilsner and wheat malt give the beer a light golden color with a subtle hint of cloves and fresh cut grass. Blending European Noble and Pacific Northwest hops, the flavor is moderately spicy and citrus-y. Dry hopped like an IPA, fruity apricot notes intermingle with the yeast esters. So whether you’re mowing that lawn or just sitting on that porch, make sure you do it with one of our White IPA’s. Cheers to great beers!
