Here we have 'Kryptonite', my interpretation of a San Diego style DIPA. It hits the taps at the Hart and Thistle Tuesday June 29th at 5:00pm and I must say, if you like hops, you'll want to make sure you don't miss this one. The hop-elixir is light copper coloured with calculated theoretical IBUs (international bittering units) of 233. With heavy-handed hop additions throughout and a very low final gravity this is a hop delivery vehicle with a mind-numbing 8.5% ABV, hops balancing more hops is the name of the game here. It's comprised of all Chinook, Columbus and Sorachi Ace for the bittering additions from the mash forward, then massively hop-bursted and dry-hopped with Citra, Centennial and Columbus. This is some seriously tasty stuff so get on it! Gravity – 17.6P/1.072 IBU's - 100+ (233 calculated) Hop Rate – 5.5 lbs/bbl ABV - 8.5 % Hops - Chinook, Columbus, Citra, Sorachi Ace, Centennial Colour – 5.7 SRM Malts - Pale Ale, Dextrin (CaraPils), Crystal 30
