Karl Strauss Isomerizer IPA (355ml)

A tropical, refreshingly dry single-hop IPA

A tropical, refreshingly dry single-hop IPA, this Isomerizer IPA is brewed exclusively with Mosaic hops.

Inspired by the Mosaic Session IPA, which became a brewery favorite after its release in 2015, we continued to experiment to further bring out the best qualities of the beloved Mosaic hop.

By suppressing the malt character to foreground the hop flavor, the result is a flavorful, well-balanced IPA.

Isomerization, the process from which the name is derived, refers to the process of converting components within hops into a crisp bitterness (note).

Golden in color with a white head.

Aromas of passion fruit, citrus peel, and grapefruit, with a subtle hint of wheat.

The flavor also features passion fruit, grapefruit, mango, and blueberry.

The finish is hoppy and dry.

Note) In Japanese, "Iseika" (異性化).

During the brewing boil, alpha acids in hops undergo a thermal reaction, transforming into iso-alpha acids, which are the main components responsible for a crisp bitterness.

Since alpha acids themselves have low solubility in beer and can lead to a lingering bitterness and astringency, this is an essential step in brewing.
