Introducing the Heavy Hop Scottish IPA from Epic Brewing Company. This IPA boasts a unique Scottish twist, thanks to the special Scottish ale yeast used in its creation. The yeast provides a neutral and clean malt base, allowing the hops to take center stage. The brewers have had some fun with the latest releases of American hops, including Loral, Mosaic, and Ekuanot (previously known as Equinox), resulting in a hop-forward profile that's sure to delight hop enthusiasts. The name "Heavy Hop" is a playful nod to the Scottish "wee heavy" style, though this beer is decidedly more hop-centric than its traditional counterpart. With an alcohol volume of 6.0%, this IPA strikes a balance between bold hop flavors and a smooth, drinkable character. Prepare your taste buds for a journey through a harmonious blend of malt and the vibrant, citrusy, and resinous notes of the carefully selected hops.
