These are the things I have found.

Coming in at 6.4% ABV (alcohol by volume) and 85 IBUs (International Bitterness Units), this American IPA is brewed with Cascade, Citra, and Jade hops

The rest is just beer review talk from various individuals.....


Jade IPA poured an average size head, foamy and frothy, lasting in nature. The color of this beer was a nice vibrant golden, like a color you might find in a sunrise

There’s malts here, too; a bit of caramel and straw

bright hazy orange coloration. It comes with a frothy white head that dissipates normally. On the nose, I found a strong marriage of pine resin and orange citrus. They play very well together and create an amazing aromatic balance that is clean and welcoming. I also found a hint of spice, which I would imagine is compliments of the Jade hops


The mouthfeel of this beer really took me by surprise because it is incredibly smooth to start, almost like a Belgian IPA. But, it does gain that signature crispness in the middle ground and eventually exits dry and bitter. The core flavor consists of a floral pine note which is quite savory, almost like the fresh hop flavor of a harvest ale. The other main note is a pepper infused citrus that takes the form of a lightly blackened orange rind. The hop profile is incredibly clean and pure. It has very big flavor yet remains easy drinking. The beer smooths significantly as it warms and gains a delightful buttery vibe, so definitely take your time to enjoy the session.

How is this turning out in comparison to the real deal? Just had the Jade for the first time at the brewpub last night. Unbelievably good beer. Hands down the best North Carolina IPA that I've tasted.

Looking forward to hearing more about this recipe.
 
Sorry to bring this back up but I talked to one of the brewers the other day.

The malt is mostly pilsner with a little carmel for color. Hops are citra, cascade and chinook, with a combination of chinook and citra for dry hopping.

Also they use an in house english ale yeast that attenuates a little better than 001.

Hope this helps, wanna make it too!
