A Note on This Beer
Hubbard’s Cave calls their Fresh IIPA V34 “one of the most expressive IIPAs in our portfolio.”
Which is really saying something — this Chicago brew crew is renowned for their hopbombs! The Chicago Tribune even calls out the Fresh IIPA series for boasting some of the best Hazy IPAs in Chicago!
And, one taste of today’s haze reveals profound layers of flavors from a trifecta of hops. Amarillo brings notes of lemongrass and orange rind, paving the way for El Dorado’s bursts of candied pineapple and pear. A dose of Sabro Hops makes for surprising whispers of coconut and cedar on the finish.
This brew is meant for deep, thoughtful sips in order to discover all of the flavorful nuances swirling in its pillowy haze. The taste is so mesmerizingly complex and sippable, it masks the 8.5% ABV a little too well.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Hubbard’s Cave’s hazies or this is your first introduction, V34 is worth grabbing fast. The last Fresh IIPA we had vanished in under 24 hours!
