Our Tastes-- SW Hatchery Series #1

A Mosaic IPA. Using a "basic " IPA grain bill of silo malt and Munich then dry-hopping with Mosaic hops this one is tolerable. The large white froth is concerning and I won't mention the particulate for those weary of such (I just drink it), I thought filtering on my recent Centennial and Chinook IPAs was bad but all of a sudden I feel much better watching this come out of our recently fully piecemeal purchased regional brewery. It's OK, but there's also a reason why it gets distributed in seasonal packs from a 10bbl system. Jim Koch does it best pushing the seasons and using leftovers on his fall/winter packs. Marketing and free research. This was a great 6.4% excursion. I like brewing a 10bbl.
