Prestige Cuvée is a creamy, Tree House–style Double IPA that carries aromas of fresh-squeezed grapefruit, tender Champagne mangoes, and sugary, farm-fresh orange juice. These notes culminate in a subtle bitterness that highlights the pine aromas hidden within its tropical profile.
Prestige Cuvée is an expression of Citra like never before. This creamy, Tree House–style IPA carries aromas of fresh-squeezed grapefruit, tender Champagne mangoes, and sugary, farm-fresh orange juice, finishing with a bitterness that is firm yet gentle. There’s a lot of backstory to this special release, some of it secret and some of it we’re happy to divulge. The catalyst for this project was born of two of our guiding principles: never be satisfied with complacency and strive to control every variable in our process. With that in mind, what makes this beer special takes place long before we fire up the brew kettles; our beer begins in the hop yard. This past year, we spent time with Coleman Farms deliberately altering a variety of post-harvest processes to amplify specific characteristics singular to our hoppy beers. Growing hops is a science unto itself: soil, sunlight, harvest techniques, kiln processing, and storage all leave their mark on a hop’s flavor and aroma. We’d like to thank @Colemanagriculture for taking the time to collaborate with us on this special project; we’re happy to report that this careful and creative partnership yielded stunning results. For the love of hops and the almighty Citra ❤️
