Full of citrus, vanilla, lemon, and piney hops, it’s yet another killer IPA from Elysian. 8.8% abv. AĮlysian Full Contact Imperial Hazy IPA – A bruiser at 8.8% abv, but loaded with flavor that blends the tropical notes of a hazy with the unctuous creaminess of an imperial IPA. I would have sworn this was much higher in alcohol. 6.7% abv.
Boldly hoppy and resinous, with subtle layers of orange, mango, and guava, it’s a silky powerhouse with massive length. AĮlysian Prometheus IPA – West coast style IPAs aren’t on top of the heap at the moment, but Prometheus is evidence of why the style became hot in the first place. I love the lemon note, balanced by toasty hops and gentle earthiness. AĮlysian Contact Haze IPA – Elysian’s hazy IPA is a classic in flavor, though it doesn’t have a ton of actual haze to it. For any IPA fan, there’s still nothing not to like here. 8.2% abv. Chewy and immersive, with some gently floral lime leaf notes on the back end. (It’s also Elysian’s best selling product.) The beer straddles the line of bitter and juicy fruit well, its earthy hops perfectly countered by an ample tropical and citrus character. Happy birthday, Elysian!Įlysian Space Dust IPA – Space Dust has long been my favorite Elysian beer, and one of my favorite IPAs in general. Alas, those out of state will have to make the drive to Seattle to pick one up.īrief reviews of all the beers in the kit (somehow I seem to have misplaced two of them, hence the 23 instead of 25) - ranked in order of preference - follow. Good news if you live in Washington state: You can pick up one of these kits yourself, or have it shipped to you. (As well, some are special editions that aren’t publicly available.) I figured this was the perfect chance to take a deep dive into Elysian’s extensive offerings, some of which we’ve reviewed before, some of which are new to us. In celebration of 25 years in business, Seattle’s Elysian Brewing recently put together the mother of all mix packs: 25 “greatest hits” beers (plus a bunch of fun additions) packed in a monstrous box.
