Received: Wild Heaven Beer Sunburst IPA
I’d recently posted the news about Wild Heaven Beer launching its new flagship IPA, Sunburst IPA, and the brewery sent me a sample of the new IPA long with a bit of swag. For a quick reminder, here’s some context from the press release:
Growing in complexity and creativity with each batch, Sunburst emerged with juicy and tropical notes and a clean, crisp finish.
“My vision was to create the ultimate IPA that honors the best of two branches, West Coast and Hazy, while avoiding the tendencies many have to drift into overly extreme expressions of flavor,” says Wild Heaven’s co-founder and creative force, Eric Johnson. “Instead, by capturing what we love about those styles, we found our path.”
Sunburst IPA features a delightful blend of Talus, Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Amarillo, Cascade, and Chinook hops – adding something special from each varietal.
In addition to a can of the beer, Wild Heaven included sunglasses, a beer koozie, and a buoyant foam keychain (in case you drop your keys in the water—it will float). I’ll have thoughts on the beer itself pretty soon.
