Press Release
Hood River, OR - March 2023
This year’s From the Vault Beer Series highlights a beer Double Mountain first made back in 2017, Sweet Jane IPA. Orange/red in color, aggressively balanced as West Coast IPA’s are, and all the fun pine and citrus aromas. For this encore, we revisit this
classic with some modern techniques and tweaks, drawing on the brewer’s gain expertise acquired since first making the beer.
First off, we wanted to get some of that same color without the use of crystal malts. Enter Red X from Best Malz, a German malt that provides nice red and orange color without the caramel notes. This keeps it rounded and balanced, but without the perceived sweetness that can come from crystal malts, providing a good springboard for the hops.
We’re super excited to revisit this one, and had fun with the Spotify playlist again. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
From The Vault; Sweet Jane IPA
7% ABV 70 BU
This IPA is a nod to Lou Reed. It’s a straight up West Coast IPA; a tinge of color, balanced bitterness, and dewy citrus and sticky pine shouting out the verses. Here she comes, she’s gonna break your heart. Sing it with me now, “Sweet Jane!”
