HOLY HUMULUS IPA 6.9 abv, 50 IBU Style: India Pale Ale. Humulus Lupulus is the scientific name for hops, the wondrous flower spice of beer. The “wolf vine” is celebrated in this beer by using 100% whole-cone American hop flowers. A special blend of American hop flowers impart luscious, deep, resiny flavors found only in whole-cone hop flowers. With reverence, gratitude and anticipation we say, Holy Humulus!
