featuring a massive hop profile w 5 different hops..its Hop Slayer on cask from Wild Onion Brewing
Our CCBW Event is an ode to awesome Chicago beers with 2 special out-of-town guests. This evening we will focus on the massive Imperial IPA from one of the best kept secrets in Chicagoland – Wild Onion Brewing Company in Barrington, IL.
An intense Double IPA brewed for the hopheads of the world. This robust ale is so full of malt and hops that you can almost chew on it. Served in a snifter to bring out all of the nuances of malt, hop, and alcohol.
Grapefruit scents sing loudest while catty pine, orange and onion perform backup; light caramel sweetness binds the bouquet together. A parade of hop flavors flows across the tongue: Juicy grapefruit, orange and a touch of pine wash back with bready, caramel flavors before streamlining into a single pithy citrus note. Smooth bitterness closely trails the swallow, sucking the moisture from the tongue for a dry, citrusy finish.
Be sure to come out and meet the Wild Onion brewers as we tap a firkin of Hop Slayer
