Karl Strauss Isomerizer IPA (355ml)

A refreshingly tropical and dry single-hop IPA.

A refreshingly tropical and dry single-hop IPA. This Isomerizer IPA is a single-hop IPA made using only Mosaic hops.

Taking inspiration from Mosaic Session IPA, which has been a hit at the brewery since its release in 2015, the team continued to experiment to bring out the best in the beloved Mosaic hops.

The malt character is kept to a minimum to allow the hop flavor to come to the forefront, resulting in a flavorful, well-balanced IPA.

The word "isomerization," from which the name is derived, refers to the process of changing the components in hops into a sharp bitter taste (note).

The liquid is golden in color with white foam on top.

The aroma is reminiscent of passion fruit, citrus peel, and grapefruit, with a subtle hint of wheat.

The taste is similar, with passion fruit, grapefruit, mango and blueberry.

The finish is hoppy and dry.

Note: Isomerization in Japanese.

During the boiling process in brewing, the alpha acids contained in hops undergo a thermal reaction and are converted into iso-alpha acids, the main component that gives the beer a sharp bitter taste.

Alpha acids themselves have low solubility in beer and give it a lingering bitter and astringent taste, so they are an essential step in brewing.
