Futuristic IPA


Tried one of these last weekend, it's one of the three celebration beers made by Siren for their 12th birthday (hence the logo on the can). Called "Persistence of time" it's an IPA made with some rather futuristic ingredients. Firstly the hops are all experimental varietals including Incognito®, Super Sauvin®, Cryo®, Dynaboost® and Hyperboost® it also contains "cannabis Terpenes" which are the chemical aroma and flavour elements (essential oils) of the cannabis plant. It was interesting to see if I could pick out the flavours but since hops are very closely related to cannabis anyway, and often very similar in flavour profile I couldn't honestly say that I detected anything particularly different. This beer is exceptionally "dank" (i.e. weedy) though, which people often say is typical of cannabis, anyway, certainly a futuristic IPA
