Kettle Series. This beer gets its name from the Hopunion Hop Hash nuggets - pure hop lupulin extracted and scraped from the Hopunion pelletizing line, then boiled for 90 minutes in the kettle. According to the brewer, this has never been done before! Premium 2-row, Great Western Munich, Crisp 60L and rolled oats comprise the grain bill designed to carry this load. Fermented warm using American Ale yeast to bring out the fruitiness, the resulting beer is designed to be a surprise on all fronts. Even the brewer has no idea how hoppy it’ll be.

Aroma of tropical fruits, juicy grapefruit, some caramel, some pine, big hops. Flavour is light sweet with a bitter finish. Lots of fruits and I’m pleased with this one!

From bottle to pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy orange with moderate and well retained white head. Hop aroma is lacking, with more assertion form sugary bread. Flavor also lacks hops, but bitterness shows the hop additions in a moderately strong manner.

Bottle (One pint, 6 Fl Ozs): Deep golden to light amber coloured, almost clear,very stable creamy and lacy off-white head, visible carbonation; flowery hops,sweet malt, bread and caramel in the almost solid aroma; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, but not really soft; lingering dry herbal to flowery hops and subdued sweet pale malt in the finish. Not the greatest american ale, but surely very good...

Quite good, dense & fine yellowish head, very stable over finely carbonated deeper orange-amber beer. Bit caramelly, fresh green leaves, resiny hops. Seem to get celeri. Bitter, vegetable, even metallic, but with a caramelly, cake-bottom underbuild. Good balance, anyway. Again something soupy-celeri. Waming up, coriander??? Fresh, even greenmalt retronasal. Medium bodied, quite slick; velvety-creamy MF from the head. Far from bad, but not really great.
