New Realm Brewing has launched the latest and greatest addition to its 'Monsters & Myths' series in the form of an ultra-hoppy double IPA.
Dubbed 'Restricted Area DIPA,' this particular double IPA is a West Coast-style brew that was crafted with an extravagant amount of Mosaic and Citra hops, with dry-hopping of around three pounds per barrel carried out in order to give this beer its hop-loaded character. The beer is also noteworthy for its stone fruit, citrus and berry aromas.
Bow Powers, co-founder of New Realm Brewing, noted that the 'Monsters & Myths DIPA' has long been a favorite among beer lovers, and that 'Restricted Area' is a worthwhile addition to the line. "We joke that Restricted Area is a ‘Martian-Style’ DIPA, but really, it’s just out of this world! We cannot wait to see what our hop-loving beer fans think of this new release," Powers said.
