-What is a Thiolized Pale Ale?-

 

Certain strains of yeast unlock what are called “bound thiols,” and express themselves as  additional flavors that exist naturally in hops and malt but won’t come out without help. Incorporating Cosmic Punch hops in the fermentation process specifically brings out flavors of passion fruit, guava, white grape skins and other tropical fruits.

 

(If you’re a wine drinker – the best comparison for these notes could be found in many styles of Sauvignon Blanc.)

 

It’s been a huge focus of hoppy beer brewing for years (also called “biotransformation”) but these newly developed yeast products have moved the needle substantially in terms of making these juicy flavors a reality in beer.

 

Experience this magic for yourself with Luminous Beings, now in cans and on draft at Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing!
