I hope you’ve sharpened your No. 2 pencils, ‘cause it’s time for a POP QUIZ!

1. Which brewery was named USA Today’s Best New Brewery of 2019?
2. Which beer of theirs is currently the number one rated in their famous IPA series?
3. What new and rarely-seen hop variety does this beer showcase?

If you answered Wild Leap Brewing Co., Alpha Abstraction Vol. 14, and Talus Hops — congratulations! 

And, if you didn’t know the answers, no sweat! Time to crack open a can of today’s 4.3 UT-rated Hazy IPA and start “studying.”

Alpha Abstraction Vol. 14 is an ultra-smooth and juicy blend of tropical flavors, thanks to a healthy double dry-hopping with Talus Hops (a.k.a. the artist formerly known as Experimental Hop HBC 692). 

Talus delivers pungent and aromatic scents of sweet, dried roses and invigorating pine. The taste is a tropical fruit salad of zesty grapefruit, succulent pineapples, and juicy passionfruit, all wrapped up in a smooth and velvety body.

Since the beginning, each version of Wild Leap’s Alpha Abstraction has been a daringly delicious experiment in hops. For extra credit, how high did Tavour students rate the last 7 iterations of this series? (I’ll give you a hint: it starts with the number “4.”)

Each limited release of Alpha Abstraction only drops once, so if you want the brew that scores an A+ in the “big, tropical, and juicy” category, it’s time to put down your pencils and pick up your pint glasses!
