The first in a new series of Mutant IPAs, all of which will showcase the latest mutations in hops and hop technology, Western Mutant features spicy Akoya, zesty Saphir, citrusy, piney Simcoe, and tropical, white-wine-like Nelson Sauvin hops, according to the company. Oskar Blues parent group Canarchy was recently purchased by energy drink giant Monster Beverage for $330 million.
