Unicorn Tears 3

Hoppenweizen – 5.5 Gal - OG 1.055 – FG 1.010– ABV 5.8% - IBU 20 – SRM 3.7

If there is one thing we have learned from the last twenty years of movies, you can’t just STOP at the sequel; all franchise MUST be trilogies. Beer recipes are no different, once the second one is made, you are COMPELLED to complete the trilogy.

This time, we’re taking the idea of a wheat beer and colliding it at high speed with the delicious, aromatic, Strata hops. Strata has quickly become a KJ favourite for its explosive notes of mango, passion fruit, and strawberry. The resulting beer has the classic fruity, banana like notes of a wheat beer with the Michael Bay esque boom boom flavour of a super hopped beer. Like wheat beers, the bitterness is low – but the hops add a distinct dimension to it.

Now is the time to complete the delicious trilogy!
