Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the release of its highly anticipated double IPA, Nimble Giant.
One of the Hershey, PA-based brewery’s most beloved beers, this limited once-a-year release rivals its iconic holiday ale, Mad Elf, for the excitement it generates each year.
Nimble Giant began life as an experiment with Mosaic hops through the independent brewery’s small-batch Scratch Series. After several test batches, the Tröegs brewing team struck upon what they felt was the perfect hop combination.
“We loved our earliest trials with Mosaic hops,” says Tröegs co-founding brother and brewmaster John Trogner. “When we started dry-hopping with Mosaic and Simcoe together, we knew we were onto something. After adding Azacca to the mix, we latched on and couldn’t let go.”
Nimble Giant weighs in at 9% ABV and boasts notes of tropical fruit, pine sap, and honeysuckle. Supported by a backbone of pilsner and Vienna malts, this deep orange-hued double IPA is all about the balance between malt and hops.
This Tröegs fan favorite scores an ‘Outstanding’ on BeerAdvocate and consistently hits the top ten trending beers on Untappd upon its release in June.
Nimble Giant is available on draft and in 16-oz. cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint.
