Variety Details

The sensory profile of Elixir is unusually deep, combining spice and citrus with red fruit, blackcurrant, cognac, tobacco, leather and woody notes. Moderate alpha acids support dual-purpose use, but measured late additions reveal its layered aroma without overwhelming the beer. It is particularly compelling in saison, Belgian-style ale, amber ale, porter, stout and barrel-inspired specialty beer.

Beers and Pellets were evaluated using our Sensory Plus™ Trained Panel. Beers were dry hopped in a standard 2-Row Pale Ale at 2lb/barrel for 72 hours.
