Tasting Notes
Hipster Apocalypse IPA has aromas that starts with tropical guava notes and lead into aromas of pine with big pink-grapefruit juice and slight pithy astringency. A firm bitterness lingers into a citrusy grapefruit-lemon finish. Strongly bitter in the West Coast fashion, but sporting a juicy East Coast hop aroma.

Method
Idaho-7 is the hop of choice in Mason’s flagship IPA, a beer that is heavily dry-hopped. Dry hopping in a process where hop pellets are added in heavy amounts at the end of the brewing process, and this contributes lots of hop flavour and aroma without adding too much bitterness. This hop is ripe with zesty tangerine flavor that is reminiscent of marmalade. Its uniqueness shows up as a pleasant herbal character that melds with the citrus to come across like fine earl grey tea.
