Enjoy an Effortless drinking experience with our Grapefruit Session IPA.

Blue Point Hoptical Illusion

Blue Point Hoptical Illusion

American IPA7.9% ABV79 IBU

Blue Point BreweryPatchogue, NY

It’s said that Ancient Egyptians stuffed their pillows with fresh hops as they believed the aroma would bring on intense, vivid dreams. In honor of that tradition, we select only the freshest hops for Hoptical Illusion, including a rare one we hand-selected from a small farm in Oregon. You might not have vivid dreams while enjoying this brew, but it surely will enlighten your taste buds. To brew this award-winning IPA, we use a collection of unique hops, hand-selected by our brewers, and add them five different ways. Adding it five ways allows the “Essence of the Hop” to really shine through and give Hoptical Illusion its signature resiny, citrus-burst punch. From aroma to first sip, this beer is sure to be one of your new favorites.
