Dang Green

Tap to rate

A slight bitterness gives way to a citrusy aftertaste in this IPA brewed with Cryo Hops. Dang Green is the official craft beer of University of Oregon Athletics, and its name plays on Gang Green, the nickname of the 1994 Oregon football team and its defense. It runs at 7% ABV and 58 IBU and comes from Hop Valley in Oregon.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with citrus flavors immediately apparent on the palate. Mid-palate develops tropical stone fruit notes that integrate well with the 58 IBU bitterness, which arrives measured and controlled rather than aggressive. The finish transitions smoothly from fruit to a dry, lingering hoppy bite.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
