Newport Storm Cyclone Series Yoko

Cyclone Yoko is like enjoying a day at the beach… in a 12oz bottle! The latest in the Cyclone Series by Newport Storm, Yoko is a dark ale with coconut flakes, reminding one of warm beaches and sunny surf. Using a „depth-charge‟ method, much like a French press, schemed up by Brew Master Derek Luke, we were able to take the floating bits of real coconut and sink them to the bottom of the bright tank to craftily infuse the natural flavor into the beer, that would bring out the tropical essence, without using any extracts. “We discovered that by “dry flaking” a beer with an insane amount of shaved and toasted coconut after fermentation, we achieved a coconut flavor and aroma that paired perfectly with the darker base beer,” explains Luke. “The addition of German Chocolate Wheat enhances the richness and compliments the silky mouth-feel of the coconut.”
