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.

Bottled at SBWF. Clear amber, coarse head. Aroma of butter and hay. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Somewhat sticky with near inky bitterness. More bitter than aromatic.

Draught. Orange with white head with coating lacing. Full fruity aroma. Flavour is midway between an IPA and a Cape Ale. Very good and satisfying. Seek this out.

Deep robust amber, bronze and copper coloured body with a hint of brown and a thick, five centimetre tall tan head - beautiful! Aroma of fresh hops, earth, malt, apples, pears and a touch of metal - not so much hops though. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with a hint of alcohol, some light fruitiness with a lot of caramel and toffee sweetness and a hint of earthy and herbal hops - not much at all though. Overall, a decent beer - more malt than hops and showing some good complexity from fruit and sugars more than hops. Nice to try, but not as good as I had hoped bringing it back home. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 12-April-2013 for US$4.15 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 15-June-2013.

Pours a hazy orange with a white head. Soft citrus aroma. Nice bitterness that fades smoothly into a long dry finish.

22 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of some herbal hops, dry citrus hops and barely detectable biscuity malt to back. Flavour is very, very dry hoppy, some herbal notes, and dry rye bread. Very, very dry and astringent. Quite unbalanced and barely drinkable due to the intense astringency. OK.
