アローム

シムコー、アポロ、コメット、チヌークホップを醸造、発酵、熟成の各工程で大量投入したフラッグシップのIPA。ペールモルトをたっぷりと加えることでホップ由来の荒々しさを抑え、バランスの取れた味わいに仕上げている。ネーミングは、スモールバッチ用の醸造設備「スウィートバージニア」をかつて壊滅させたハリケーンに因んだもの。

Vortex IPA
7.2% ABV

Vortex IPA is named in reverence to the tornado that nearly scattered our Sweet Virginia brew system (the original pub system) among the cornfields of Nebraska, while en route from Virginia Beach to Astoria. To this day, Sweet Virginia remains a workhorse in the public house and we continue brewing Vortex IPA as our flagship beer.

India Pale Ales were originally brewed strong to withstand the long voyage to India. Today, breweries concoct IPAs hoppy enough to make the trip back. Vortex IPA is Fort George’s contribution to the IPA arms race. Brewed with generous additions of Simcoe, Apollo, Comet, and Chinook hops throughout the brewing, fermentation, and conditioning phases, and balanced with heaps of pale malt. We designed Vortex IPA not to rip the taste buds off of your tongue, but rather vigorously stimulate your palate with lupulin ecstasy.
