Southern Tier 2XSmash joins single hop series in January

Southern Tier 2XSMaSH, a new release in the brewery’s single malt/single hop India pale ale series, arrives in January, 2016.

Taking beer ingredients down to the simplest form, Southern Tier 2XSMaSH uses special pale malt, and hopped it with only Mosaic hops. The simplified recipe partners the two ingredients, so both flavors pop. (Plus yeast and water, if you want to get technical.)

 2XSMaSH is the newest in our line of single malt and single hop India Pale Ales brewed with Mosaic hops and Special pale malt. Even simplified to one variety of hop and one type of malt it is amazing how complex the flavor is. Mosaic hops are known for their luxurious tropical citrus notes like passionfruit and work absolutely brilliantly with the richness of Special Pale malt.

Southern Tier 2XSMaSH will be available in 12 ounce bottles and draft starting in January, through spring, 2016.

Style: Imperial IPA
Hops: Mosaic
Malts: Special Pale Malt
