El-Torero Organic IPA

El Torero is a Northwest IPA made from all organic grain. It is bursting with hops from the big floral aroma to the deep, lingering bitterness. Balancing out the hops is a malt bill with generous amounts of crystal, Munich and wheat malts, plus an alcohol content just over 7%. This is an organic beer with big flavors that combine in a complex, satisfying brew.

ABV: 7.1%

IBU's: 88

Grain: 2-Row Pale Malt, Munich , Wheat, 60-L Crystal

Hops: Simcoe

 

Wilshire Wheat

Wilshire Wheat is an American style hefeweizen. This means that it employs roughly equal parts wheat and 2-Row malts with an emphasis on crisp rather than fruity flavors. While the wheat imparts very little color to the beer, it gives a lot of body and mouthfeel, creating a complex malt profile. Munich malt is added to give the brew a little color and flavor. The hop bill is all European noble hops. Czech Saaz hops give a gentle bitterness, while Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops give a distinctive spiciness in the finish. It is a very smooth, yet surprisingly complex beer.

ABV: 4.8%

IBUs: 25

Grain: 2-Row Pale Malt, Malted Wheat, Munich

Hops: Saaz, Hallertauer Hersbrucker
