A crisp, refreshing White IPA crafted with four varieties of hops, wheat, coriander, and a hint of orange peel.
For our unfiltered White IPA, we complemented the citrus hop character with wheat and a hint of orange peel. Then we dry-hopped it with Cascade, Citra, and Huell Melon hops for a bright hop aroma that creates a balanced IPA.
Taste Responsibly.

From the neck label: This crisp pale ale is named after U.S. Crystal hops, which give the beer its distinctive American hop character. The classic aroma and citrusy, floral flavor that the Crystal hops provide are balanced by a subtle earthy note from U.K. hops. Cheers! Kim Koch

The wonder of brewing is that it's always building on tradition. We brewed with new hops grown in the old hop gardens of Bavaria to showcase both the floral & spicy Noble hops and the fruity & citrusy character of new varieties in this elegant and surprising golden pilsner. Cheers! Jim Koch
