Titan is a single hop IPA designed to showcase the hop aroma and character of Southern Passion, a locally bred variety of hops that provides bitterness as well as a wonderful passion fruit aroma. The hop was originally known as US4/78 and hybridised in the Outeniqua mountains where all our local hops are cultivated. The hop was only ever utilised for bittering and, in 2012, we were the first craft brewery to brew a big IPA with Southern Passion.
The golden pour hints at the crystal malts used to impart some sweetness and the 8% ABV makes for a solid malt backbone. This beer will develop with age and is a nice winter warmer but balanced enough to enjoy cold on a summer day.
Malts: Pale, Various Crystal Malts
Hops: Southern Passion

Bottle shared at Deanso’s crappy music tasting. Pours cloudy bet with an off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, overripe fruit and fudge. Flavour is over moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Thick mouthfeel, medium bodied and soft carbonation.

Very good yellowish head over well-carbonated, fully hazy orange beer. Dried hops, intense barnyard odours, cattle fodder and quite some citrus. Again barnyard, sweet-bitter, grapes, dried fruit as figs, straw, dried vegetables. Long bitterness. Very slick, slight alcoholwarming; medium to well-bodied. Good one, unmistakably. (Has been raised in ABV.) Many thanks to the African traveler MV!

Slightly hazy light amber. The aroma has all the chewy, caramelly crystal malt and submissive earthy hops you’d expect from the style, along with some sketchy phenols. Intense, chewy and earthy with stacks of crystal malt and abundant alcohol. This is one of those IIPAs that drinks more like a barley wine.
