The colors of the season are changing here at Tröegs with the release of Leaf Seeker IPA. This West Coast-style IPA joins our amazing lineup of seasonally rotating beers alongside favorites like Field Study and Blizzard of Hops.
Leaf Seeker takes cues from the bold, hop-forward beers that emerged in the early days of the craft beer movement. Of course, we’re no stranger to this beer style, as Perpetual IPA continues to be the best-selling craft brand in our home state of Pennsylvania.
“West Coast IPAs are experiencing a recent renaissance of sorts,” explains our co-founding brother and brewmaster John Trogner. “With Leaf Seeker, we wanted to connect the dots between those big, hoppy IPAs from California and Colorado with our own East Coast culture.”
Like many of our beers, Leaf Seeker began in the hop fields of the Pacific Northwest’s Yakima Valley. “We go to the Yakima Valley every year to make sure we get the right hops,” says Trogner. “To me, it’s the most important ingredient selection we do. We have so many hop-forward beers, so the stakes are high.”
The most recent trip yielded an abundance of Citra, Chinook, and El Dorado hops, all of which combine to infuse Leaf Seeker with notes of sticky citrus, dank pine, and tropical fruit. Balanced by a backbone of pilsner and Vienna malts, Leaf Seeker weighs in at 6.4% ABV and has just the right amount of bitterness for peak peeping when autumn emerges.
Use our Brew Finder to locate Leaf Seeker right now on draft and in 12-oz. bottles and cans everywhere our beer is sold.
And heads up! Leaf Seeker precedes the release of our refreshed Perpetual Exploration variety pack for the fall season. Each 12-pack features three cans each of Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, Leaf Seeker, and our forthcoming Oktoberfest Lager.
