323. New Belgium Brewing Company (Fort Collins, CO) - Accumulation

“This winter, IBUs start accumulating like snow in Colorado with our new Accumulation White IPA. Brewing a white IPA was not only a way to salute the white beauty falling from the sky, but a direct revolt to the longstanding tradition of brewing dark beers for winter and winter seasonal beers. At least that’s what our rebellious brewers like to claim as they shovel in plenty of mosaic [sic] and Amarillo hop varietals and a bit of wheat for a smooth mouthfeel. Stack up a few cases of Accumulation White IPA to keep your long nights glowing blizzard white.”

Um. Okay. The hops taste more like Citra to me, but I think they’re bang on with respect to the smooth effects of the wheat. It’s also bigger (6.7%) than it tastes. That could be either Citra or Mosaic, and I don’t fucking care anymore. I’m out.
