The Original 40 Brewing Company, a San Diego, California-based neighbourhood brewery that offers a number of on-tap brews that can be paired with the many delicious items on the food menu, is launching a strong new double IPA that is high in flavor and alcohol by volume (ABV).
The 'Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 2' is a dry-hopped West Coast Double IPA that was formulated with a bold combination of Citra, Citra Incognito, Amarillo, Amarillo CGX and Ekuanot hops, with the end result being a brew that delivers in-your-face citrus up-front along with arboreal notes and hints of dankness, while the visual appeal is attributable to a honey-esque golden hue.
Launched less than a year after the arrival of its hazy predecessor 'Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 1,' this latest offering is designed to appeal to lovers of bold and flavorsome West Coast IPAs.
