Town Lake IPA - All Grain

Town Lake IPA - All Grain

Our Town Lake IPA features Citra and Simcoe hops which provide citrus, lime, pine, and grapefruit flavors and aromas.  Crystal 60L gives this beer an light Amber color and some caramel flavors while Victory malt contributes light biscuit and toast flavors.  This IPA is simple to make and decidedly our most popular recipe.

Hop Sensory Profile:

• Citra®: strongly tropical and lush with a host of fruit flavors including peach, passionfruit, guava, lychee, grapefruit, lime and gooseberry.
• Simcoe®: Aroma and flavor descriptors include citrus, grapefruit, stone fruit, tropical, woody
• Falconer's Flight®: this proprietary pellet blend combines seven “C” hops and additional experimental varieties. Like its predecessor, Falconer’s Flight 7Cs® delivers strong fruit and citrus characteristics, but is layered with additional spicy, earthy overtones that allow it to function as the perfect addition to American-style ales.

If you want a stronger ABV and IBU IPA, then consider our Lake Travis Double IPA (7.9% ABV) or our Lake Buchanan Imperial IPA (9.6% ABV).
