Tropical IPA
Summer may be winding down but here at Buoy Beer, we’re not ready to let the tropical vibes go just yet. We’re still enjoying the fruity bursts and crushability of the Buoy Tropical IPA. With aromas of peach, pineapple, and mango, and a subtle dank finish from Citra, Mosaic, Cashmere, and Waimea hops, this copper-hued IPA is a great companion on your next outdoor adventure.
Tropical IPA is the first of our new IPA series hitting the shelves now.
Tropical IPA Featured Hop: Waimea
The Waimea hop variety comes from the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research, whose successful hop breeding program has been around since the 1950s. Introduced in 2012, Waimea has a balanced flavor of zesty citrus, grapefruit, and fresh pine, and is perfect for adding a crisp, slight bitterness to the Tropical IPA.
Get Outside and into the Forest!
Tropical IPA pairs well with the incredible forested areas of the Pacific Northwest. Grab a 6pk, an ice pack, and hit the trails.
