The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co. Hoppy Cyclones
The Experience:
Cyclone Beers Crush It!
First there was DDH, then TDH…how do you pack more hop madness into an IPA?
Faction first debuted Citra Cyclone last year, using 6 different forms of Citra. This year they’ve made 4 Cyclone beers, with Citra and Mosaic receiving a 7th hop product, Spectrum, which imparts added hop aroma, in the fermenter. “Faction absolutely crushed it on their Cyclone series, featuring 7 forms of the same hop per beer!” comments Sunday Cyclone taster, Jamie Waldear. “Powerful amounts of tropical notes take over the pallet. Would highly recommend! 10/10.”
These massively hopped IPAs celebrate the essence, flavors, and aromas of each unique hop by using at least 6 different hop products per beer.
Check out their Sampler Box or order single 4 pks of Citra Cyclone, Sabro Cyclone, Ekuanot Citra, and Mosaic Cyclone. Patio hours: W/Th 2-8pm; F/Sa 12-8pm; Su 12-6pm.
