Tröegs Independent Brewing

American IPA·United States·6.2% ABV·One of 474 American IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hop Knife's citrusy and tropical character. Orange zest, honeysuckle and pineapple lead this IPA, and as the beer flows through the HopCyclone at the end of fermentation it releases preserved citrus rind and tropical aromas. Cascade, Chinook and El Dorado are the hops, with Centennial, Citra and Columbus as dry hops, on Crystal, Pilsner and Vienna malts. Deep amber and 6.2% ABV, a nod to hand-harvesting hops at peak maturity. A Brewery Only release from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
