Vacant Daze

Description

Vacant Daze is a captivating IPA from the Maiden Brewing Company. This beer boasts a unique blend of flavors, with oats making up a significant portion of the fermentable sugars. The addition of English floor-malted spring barley, New Zealand-grown pilsner malt, and a touch of German malted wheat creates a complex and creamy foundation. The real star of the show, however, is the use of a new yeast strain from Lallemand's Verdant lineup. This yeast imparts a pronounced vanilla note that harmonizes beautifully with the fruit-forward aromas. Expect a delightful bouquet of papaya, mango, guava, blueberries, and candied pineapple, all accented by a hint of kalamansi. Clocking in at 7.5% ABV, Vacant Daze is a bold and flavorful IPA that invites you to savor each sip. The absence of boil hops and the restrained use of whirlpool hops create a unique and captivating experience, making this beer a must-try for any IPA enthusiast.
