Mother Earth Brew Co. in Vista, California and Nampa, Idaho has announced the release of two beers called Wolf Mother and the return of its famed triple IPA Big Mother. Full details are below.
ista, CA & Nampa, ID – Mother Earth has been building speed through the first quarter of the year and is poised to hit its stride this week with the release of two back to back brews – one new and one familiar. The launch of the former, Wolf Mother, comes just a week before the release of Mother Earth’s Anniversary Ale, Big Mother.
The naming convention is about all the Triple IPA’s carnivorous cousin has in common with their annual release, though. Wolf Mother, the latest in the brewery’s Project X Series, favors drinkability and a cloudy, New England-style appearance as opposed to the indulgent, boozy variety the brewery has become known for every May since its inception.
Tasting notes also vary considerably between the two. Big Mother comes through with a one-two punch of hop dankness & tropical fruit. Triple digit IBUs are balanced by a touch of Vienna malt to tame the 10.5% beast, with a dry finish. Wolf Mother, on the other hand, presents with a fluorescent yellow hue with bright hop notes of lemon peel and pineapple, and finishes clean and smooth at just 6.8%.
