Bierol - The Lab #18 | First Wave

At Bierol, we are known for our fruity-hoppy IPAs like Padawan (Citra & Mosaic) or El Patron (Mosaic). These modern IPAs are the evolution of the first IPA wave with more "oldschool" hop varieties like Simcoe. As the name suggests, First Wave is a homage to these origins. Back to the roots. Inspired by classics such as Russian River-Pliny the Elder or The Alchemist-Heady Topper, we brewed this Double IPA with Simcoe Cryo hops - a highly concentrated form of hops. Supported by Callista and Tango for a clear bitterness, this beer shows resinous notes, grapefruit, and a beautiful depth. It's nice to return to the beginnings every now and then.
