Wild Leap Brew Co. Chief Brewing Officer Chris Elliott Talks Alpha Abstraction Vol. 23

We spoke with Wild Leap Brew Co. Chief Brewing Officer Chris Elliott about Alpha Abstraction Vol. 23.

Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
My team of brewers and I developed this recipe. For the Alpha Abstraction series, we pick 5-6 interesting hops to feature every year. This one featured Eclipse hops.

What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
I love the flavors in this beer. Eclipse hops are one of the many great varieties coming out of the Southern Hemisphere. They have a very pleasant dank citrus peel, mandarin and stone fruit aroma. 

Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less? 
Slightly dank, peachy and mandarin hop juice.

What's a good food pairing for this beer? 
This beer is perfect for Korean BBQ, ribs and anything with a savory and sweet sauce.
