Luponic Distortion | Firestone Walker

luponic-distortion-firestone-walker

Luponic Distortion –

An ever-evolving mix of experimental hops, designed to deliver mind-blowing flavors that break the rules with each new release. The unique revolution number on the label tells you which release you have in hand. Crack fresh and enjoy the show.

Luponic Distortion Revolution No. 001 features a blend of six different hop cultivars from the 2015 harvest, with an emphasis on a zesty tropical fruit-driven experimental hop to create something entirely unique. A wheat malt base provides a clean canvas for showcasing a pure hop character. Aromas of pineapple, papaya and citrus creamsicle explode out of the glass. Resinous undertones yield to flavors of candied mango, red grapefruit zest and fresh green tea, all dissipating quickly into a clean, dry finish.

Wookey Jack | Firestone Walker

wookey-jack-black-ipa-firestone-walker

Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA –
A riff on the familiar Black IPA style, Wookey Jack is gnarly on the outside yet refined on the inside. Malted Rye and a dash of Cara Rye impart a spicy grain quality to the palate, while double dry-­‐hopping with Citra and Amarillo hops brings a citrusy dimension to the aroma profile. The brewing team also claims to have incorporated a bit of “Wookey Dust” into the recipe. The beer is black in color, but if you close your eyes and taste it, you’ll say it’s a true IPA. Wookey Jack is unfined and unfiltered to retain its woolly natural texture and character.

Double Jack | Firestone Walker

double-jack-ipa-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.

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.

Beer Information –

  • ABV: 7.5%
  • IBU: 70
  • COLOR: 8 SRM
  • FERMENTATION: 100% Stainless Steel Fermentation
  • MALTS: Premium Two-Row (Metcalf & Kendall varieties), Munich, Cara Pils, Simpson’s Light Crystal
  • HOPS: 4 lbs/BBL: Bittering— Magnum; Late Kettle—Cascade, Centennial; Dry Hops—Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Chinook, Simcoe

  • 2013 Silver Medal, Great American Beer Festival
  • 2013 Gold Medal, European Beer Star
