In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Tastes Like Magenta IPA | 6.7% ABV | 60 IBU It might sound cRaZy, but the idea for this beer was to make it taste like purple. And in the most organic way possible – so like, just with hops. No fruits, no coloring, no gimmicks, no syrups. Just a carefully selected and implemented blend of Cashmere, Mosaic, Hallertau Blanc, Meridian, and Columbus Cryo hops because all of these varieties throw s...

New to hop talk? What these words mean
- Bitterness (alpha acid)
- How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
- Aroma oil
- The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
- Myrcene, humulene…
- The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
- Aroma / bittering / dual purpose
- What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
- Fresh (wet) hop
- Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
- Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito
- The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
