We spoke with Wild Leap Brew Co. Chief Brewing Officer Chris Elliott about Alpha Abstraction, Vol. 13.
BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This is a recipe that I developed as our double IPAs began to evolve to become juicier and hazier.
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
The aroma. We used Sabro Cryo to get an unbelievable coconut and tangerine profile. It is one of the most unique hops I have ever worked with.
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Our CEO Anthony Rodriguez named this one. We wanted the series to feature a rotating hop, and we wanted to build a base beer that helps give an "abstract" of the hop profile. That morphed into Alpha Abstraction and boom, the name was born.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Juice!
