Alcibiades III
Imperial India Pale Ale 8.2% ABV
Alcibiades is a rotating series of Imperial India Pale Ales. In each variation, we utilize the same malt bill but change the dry hop varieties. We save all of the hopping for the cold side of the brewing process, which results in the largest dry hop of all of our beers to date. This third iteration was dry hopped with a substantial amount of New Zealand hops, including Nelson Sauvin™, Riwaka™, and Motueka™. Crafted with American malted barley, malted red wheat, flaked white wheat, and our house ale yeast blend, this ale is juicy, soft, and incredibly complex. We taste notes of lemon candy, orange sorbet, passion fruit gelato, and guava. It is named after Alcibiades (450 – 404 BCE), who was an Athenian statesman and general. He was known for his extravagance and debauchery, leading him to be exiled from Athens twice and from Sparta once. In fact, the famous philosopher Socrates attempted to correct Alcibiades’ behavior but was unable to do so!
