A Note on This Beer
Lowering a beer's ABV doesn’t have to take out the flavor. For decades, macrobrews have pervaded the myth that “light” beers are akin to water. Craft brewmasters, unwilling to sacrifice flavor, have rallied their skills into the Session Beer movement. And Black Raven’s GABF Silver winning IPA is a wonderfully hoppy result of this crusade.
Nothing But Flowers Session IPA boasts enormous floral and citrus hop flavor in a delicate 4.8% ABV.
Black Raven’s plan for Nothing But Flowers is simple, yet elegant: lower the malt bill and let the hops do all the talking.
- Apollo - Classic super-alpha (15-19%!) that provides bittering potency.
- Bravo - Another super-alpha that boasts a bouquet of florality.
- Cascade - This dry-hopping all-star induces tangy grapefruit aromas.
- Comet - Rarely seen, this fellow bitter companion brings a wild lemon nose.
- Legacy - This dual-purpose legend brings nectar-soaked flowers, currant, and spice.
- Mosaic - A complex aromatic garden of herbs, berries, tropical fruits, and pine.
Endlessly hoppy, endlessly crushable, Nothing But Flowers reclaims the session beer. For the nights you want to keep the party going without losing hop intensity, this beer provides Double IPA hop strength without cranking up the booze.
