Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailHoplite IPA

A Hoplite Soldier was the most common type of heavily armed foot-soldier in ancient Greece from the 7th to 4th centuries BC, and most ordinary citizens of Greek city-states were expected to suit up and make themselves available for the role when necessary. If the Holplites were craft beer drinkers, they would need a flavorful, light-bodied, lower-alcohol IPA to keep them on their toes in case a battle ensued. Hoplite has the massive hop aroma and flavor profile of a traditional IPA, with the sessionable characteristics of a lower alcohol beer. This beer uses new hop varieties Belma and Azacca to create flavors and aromas of strawberry, melon and citrus fruits that will have you ready for battle or that afternoon in the hot summer sun.
