Seventh Beer of Christmas 2019: Alaskan Brewing Hopothermia

Alaskan Brewing Hopothermia bottle and pint

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, my brewer gave to me... Alaskan Brewing Hopothermia!

Alaskan Brewing Hopothermia

Much of the history of Hypothermia is lost in the mist of time. Alaskan Brewing knows that the windswept lone brewer dreamt of a Double IPA so bold and packed full of hop flavor that it could keep the wild wolves from the door of his remote cabin.

Legend has it that he first came up with this beer, with the help of his woodland friends, to fight against the long frigid winter nights endured by all of the pioneers of the Last Frontier. 

The Beer

This American Double India Pale Ale, or IPA, is as big and bold as the mythical lone brewer himself. It is a full-flavored representation with a robust malt body resting in easy harmony. Nugget and Apollo hops added in the brew kettle provide a green, floral aroma and citrus hop base, while the later addition of Amarillo, Citra, and Centennial hops add notes of spicy grapefruit and orange – complimenting the resilient malt profile.

The ABV is 8.5%.
