SweetWater Releases 420 Fest Double IPA

08 Apr 2015 --- Springtime in the South means three things: baseball, shooting the Hooch and SweetWater 420 Fest. With 420 Fest returning for its 11th year this April, the brewery is rolling out a perfect addition to any outdoor activity – 420 Fest Double IPA.

The newest beer to the Dank Tank line is brewed with 100-percent Marris Otter grain for a clean, malty finish. Turning up the funk on this brew, SweetWater worked with the Hopsteiner Breeding Program in Yakima Washington to throw in two new varieties of experimental hops – Eureka and Lemondrop. Eureka yields a blend of black currants, dark fruit, strong herbal notes, pine tree, mint, grapefruit rind, citrus, and tangerine; while Lemondrop gives off lemon, citrus, orange, grapefruit, and “Amarillo-like” notes.
