Make West Coast IPA Great Again

Make West Coast IPA Great Again — Cryo IPA West Coast — Ritual Lab

Make West Coast IPA Great Again is the Cryo IPA by Ritual Lab, a Roman brewery among the most respected in the Italian craft scene. The name is a manifesto: a declared homage to the American West Coast style, known for its resinous, bitter, and clean IPAs that made history in craft beer before the NEIPA invasion. Hazy blonde, fresh, balanced — with cryo hops doing all the aromatic work.

What are Cryo Hops

Cryo hops are obtained through a cryogenic process that concentrates the resins and essential oils of the hop, eliminating much of the plant material. The result is a hop with double the aromatic density compared to traditional pellets: more aroma, less grassy bitterness, greater cleanliness in the profile. The ideal technique for a modern West Coast IPA.
