Double Jack | Firestone Walker

Double Jack Imperial IPA –
With Double Jack, Firestone Walker amped up their signature Union Jack IPA to create an aggressively hopped, flawlessly balanced and dangerously drinkable imperial IPA.  Double Jack opens up with bright grapefruit and tangerine American hop aromas, courtesy of liberal dry hopping with Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe. Undertones of stone fruit are revealed upon first sip, followed by the essence of blue basil and pine. A sturdy pale and crystal malt backbone brings balance to high hop intensity.

Opal | Firestone Walker

opal-firestone-walker

Opal Farmhouse Ale –
Opal is an unfiltered interpretation of the classic saisons that originated from the 18th century farmhouses of southern Belgium’s Wallonia region. In true agrarian beer fashion, Opal is loaded with rustic grains and spicy Belgian yeastiness, with a hazy namesake opalescence in the glass. Into this mix comes a dimension of dry-­‐hopped brightness, layering in notes of fragrant citrus and tropical fruit. The result is a rootsy, rustic saison that brings down the farmhouse, merging Belgian tradition with West Coast style.

Union Jack | Firestone Walker

union-jack-ipa-firestone-walker

Union Jack West Coast style IPA –
Union Jack rings all of the bells of an aggressively hopped West Coast IPA, but with an astonishing balance that stands out from the crowd.  The name Union Jack is a nod to the colonial origins of the IPA style, and to the British expatriate who co­‐founded our brewery. This originator of our “Jack” IPA family is double dry‐hopped to create bold grapefruit, tangerine and citrus flavors, all contrasted by pale malt sweetness to rein in the intensity. The result is a tribute to—and a twist on—the IPA style that put the West Coast on the craft beer map.
