The ‘torpedo’ is a piece of stainless-steel hardware which in Sierra Nevada’s words, “delivers more pure hop aroma than any method of dry-hopping we’ve ever seen. Like all our beers, Torpedo Extra IPA uses only the best whole-cone hops possible.”

Torppedo Extra IPA is brewed using ale yeast, Magnum bittering hops, Magnum & Crystal finishing hops, Crystal & Citra dry hopping and Two-row Pale and Crystal malts.
