Torpedo
Named after the stainless steel device the brewery built for dry hopping: beer is circulated through a column packed with whole-cone hops and back into the tank, which draws out aroma without adding bitterness. Citra, Crystal and Magnum sit on a base of two-row pale and caramelized malts. Expect citrus peel, tropical fruit and pine up front, with herbal and resinous notes behind them, a toffee-like malt middle and an assertive, dry bitter finish.
