Moersleutel Blueprints Blender – Double IPA 8%
Where West Coast Bite Meets New England Smoothness
For the first time ever, we’re brewing with Vermont Ale yeast, thanks to our friends at White Labs. Made famous by the iconic beers of The Alchemist, this legendary yeast brings soft, expressive notes of peach, apricot, and citrus, adding a new layer of elegance to our hop-forward approach.
Blueprints Blender does exactly what the name suggests: it blends the resinous backbone of a West Coast IPA with the juicy softness of a New England IPA. The result is a bold yet balanced 8% hazy DIPA with a dry finish, light bitterness, and big, expressive hop character.
The Craft Behind Blueprints Blender
Vermont Ale Yeast – A First for Moersleutel
This iconic yeast strain contributes:
-
Soft peach and apricot esters
-
Gentle citrus aromatics
-
A smooth, rounded mouthfeel
It enhances fruit expression while keeping the beer clean and drinkable.
Hop Blend: Classic Resin Meets Modern Juice
To create the perfect hybrid IPA, we combined:
-
Columbus & Cascade – classic pine, resin, and structure
-
Citra – bright citrus and tropical punch
-
Mosaic – juicy depth and complexity
-
Nelson Sauvin – white grape and elegant fruit notes
This hop bill delivers bold flavor without overwhelming bitterness.
Malt Bill for Haze & Dryness
Using barley malt, oats, rye, wheat, rice, and corn, we engineered:
-
Soft haze
-
Smooth body
-
A dry, crisp finish that keeps the beer refreshing
