Vanished Valley Respect Your Elders

Vanished Valley's Respect Your Elders invites you into the heart of New England's brewing tradition with its New England-style Double IPA. With an assertive 8.0% ABV, this beer delivers a bold hop character that IPA enthusiasts will appreciate. Typical for its style, you can expect a vibrant, juicy hop profile with notes of tropical fruit and citrus, balanced by a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that makes each sip both refreshing and satisfying. For optimal enjoyment, this IPA is best served chilled, ideally between 45°F and 50°F, where its hop aromas can fully bloom. Pour it into a tulip glass to allow the flavors to open up, and to appreciate the beer's hazy, golden hue. The glass shape helps concentrate the aromas towards your nose, enhancing the overall sensory experience. Pair this robust Double IPA with foods that can stand up to its flavor intensity. Rich, spicy dishes such as buffalo wings or a well-spiced curry can complement the beer's hop-forward nature, while a sharp cheddar cheese provides a contrasting creaminess that balances the hop bitterness. Whether you're delving into a hearty meal or simply savoring the beer on its own, Respect Your Elders offers a taste of the region's storied IPA tradition, crafted with precision and care.
