Jack Black’s Fresh Hop IPA: A Hoppy Revelation (and Giveaway!)
Calling all hopheads! Jack Black has unleashed their first limited-edition brew of 2024: the Fresh Hop IPA. And let me tell you, this is one seriously special beer.
Fresh Hops, Exploding Flavor
This isn’t your average IPA. Jack Black brews the Fresh Hop IPA in small batches, using hops sourced on the same day they’re harvested at the Hop Farms in George, South Africa. This dedication to freshness translates to an explosion of flavor and aroma unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
We’re talking juicy passion fruit, melon, litchi, and guava mingling with intriguing undertones of fresh-cut grass, summer rain, and earth. It’s a truly unique flavor profile that celebrates the essence of hops.
Crafted with Passion
The Jack Black team clearly pours their hearts into this brew. This year, they incorporated a blend of Simcoe (think citrus and earth), Centennial (floral and earthy notes), and Cryo Citra hops (tropical and citrus characteristics). These fresh hops create a distinct mouthfeel and flavor that simply can’t be replicated with dried hops.
A Toast to Crisp Perfection
Jack Black’s Head Brewer, Ryan, emphasizes that this year’s Fresh Hop boasts a crisp, dry finish thanks to a higher level of attenuation. It’s a testament to their commitment to perfecting the balance between hop intensity and a refreshing taste.
Here’s the Lowdown:
- Case Price: R650
- Alcohol Content: 5.1% ABV
- Bitterness: 43 IBUs
