5/23 Karl Strass Crystal Dry Hopped Tower 20 Cask

Main Tap Tavern

May 23, 3:00p.m.

The saying “less is more” doesn’t apply to West Coast IPA’s. Less is a glass half empty and Karl Strauss Crystal Dry Hopped Tower 20 is a full glass of unrivaled hop character – a Double IPA where more is more. In brewing this hoppy offering, they took the best of Tower 10 IPA and added more. An abundance of high-alpha Centennial hops give T20 its resinous pine-like bitterness, while Oregon-grown Crystals and Chinooks lend zesty grapefruit and tangerine hop flavors. Don’t hoard this hop bomb, drink it fresh and we’ll brew more. Cask conditioned release on May 23rd at 3pm!
