Hangar 24 X8-CRANBERRY-HZY-IPA Lands This Friday!

Hangar 24 Brewing announced X8-CRANBERRY-HZY-IPA arrives in taprooms this Friday, 12/16.

Here are the Brewers’ Notes on this new beer release.

“The X8 Hazy IPA with added Cranberries is a double dry hopped Hazy IPA with cranberries added during secondary fermentation. When poured fresh off our draft system you will notice the towering pillowy white head and wonderfully opaque orange hue. The aroma jumps out of the glass with a vibrant citrus fragrance paired with fresh cranberries and undertones of tropical fruit like dragon fruit and papaya. The taste is that of grapefruit with a smooth mouthfeel and clean lingering floral bitterness that leaves you wanting another sip. Coming in at 7% ABV (X8 has the same recipe as High Wing Hazy, but with a higher ABV and added cranberries to make it seasonally appropriate.”
