TDM 1874 One Hop Pale Ale Pekko APA 5.5% First up is the Pekko that I heard mixed things about. Not in the sense of being badly done but just people didn’t know what to make of the hop. Deep gold with a thick head of foam with decent studying power. The aroma is honeyed malts, the beer has a medium body and somewhat chewy malty mouthfeel I enjoy. Pekko is giving a bitter woodsy herbal mint with hints of pine but also a sweet red grape in the aftertaste. A very solid APA but I’m not sure how I’d use Pekko to best effect, maybe some kind of blueberry beer? In combination with other hops? It does grow on you as you get used to it but I don’t find it has an element that shines through.

Very fruity. Mixed bag of stuff. Easy going English pale feel. Low carb. Nice stuff.

Can from the brewery. Nice hoppy nose lemon, orange, light melon and tropical fruit, light berries and bubble gum. Good, gentle, aromatic nose. Malt stay in the background. Clear medium orange-golden color with a low head. Flavor has more berries, some piny resins, and ripe, slightly stinky tropical fruit. Light, crisp, crackery malt. Finish is sweet tropical fruits, resin, and a medium bitterness. Good.
