Cloud Animals is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

A white IPA is a very recent style. They were first conceived in 2010 as a collaboration between American Larry Sidor of Deschutes Brewery, Oregon, and Belgian-born Steven Pauwels of Boulevard Brewing. Their efforts to meld elements of both an IPA and Belgian wit gained enough popularity to quickly develop into a new beer style.

True to style, Cloud Animals offers a fruity, spicy, lighter and more refreshing version of an American IPA with a soft cushioning body and cloudy appearance. Lightly spiced with coriander and orange peel and providing characteristic Belgian wit esters, this beer has a refreshing level of bitterness with a moderately dry finish. It’s not hard to imagine why something this deliciously drinkable quickly gained popularity. It delivers the best that IPAs and wit beers have to offer all wrapped up in one tasty package. Cheers!
