Tampa- Cigar City’s Caribbean IPA, Hopped on the High Seas premiered its first batch not too long ago showcasing Simcoe hops in a silver can. Well, the hop boat has dropped anchor in Tampa Bay again, and it looks like the next incarnation of this beer is about to be released. This go-round Tampa’s craft brewery has hopped this beer with Ahtanum hops.
From Cigar City:
Look at what arrived this morning, a big tank full of beer brewed in Puerto Rico. That’s right, the next batch of Hopped on the High Seas Caribbean-style IPA is here and we will can it later this week!
For the second batch of Hopped on the High Seas, we hopped it exclusively with Ahtanum, one of our favorite hops. Ahtanum has citrus and floral notes and a fairly prominent grapefruit character as well.
Look for Hopped on the High Seas to be released in cans shortly, since IPAs are best enjoyed fresh.
