Firestone Walker Brewing CompanyWookey JackBlack Rye IPA | 8.3% ABV | 70 IBUOffered By: PHATMEAT |
Wookey Jack now reclaims its title as Firestone Walker’s wildest and woolliest IPA, offering big, toasty malted rye flavors with a balanced bite on the finish. It is, in Brynildson’s words, “gnarly on the outside, yet refined on the inside.” This latest edition of Wookey Jack remains faithful to the well-beloved original recipe, which includes loads of pearled dark malts with rye adding a rustic grain element. The hops are dank, sticky Citra and pungent Amarillo, both of which are incorporated into a massive dry-hop regimen.
