It’s been a while since we brewed up some single hop beers but we felt we had the tools to brew up our best single hop DIPA’s ever so we thought, why wait? To get the fullest expression of these varieties we have used 4 different formats of each hop and dry hopped at 3 distinct stages. The formats are Spectrum, Cryo, T90 and BBC pellets. All offer different profiles which come together to create a harmonious, juicy character. Spectrum is a new liquified dry hop developed by Barth Haas which cuts down on the polyphenol contribution from the hops, therefore resulting in a smoother beer for the same level of hop intensity. Added at different stages it can present different characteristics. We have added it during active fermentation to induce biotransformation to get more overripe fruity notes and then again post fermentation for the more classic notes from these hops. Heavy doses of Cryo pellets post fermentation produces impactful top notes while two distinct types of pellets, T90 and BBC provide the deeper and softer fruit characteristics. We have pushed the oat content to higher levels than we typically do on these beers to really acentuate a soft, creamy body providing a delightfully moreish hoppy experience. The Citra version screams notes of peach ring jellies, pineapple, tropical fruit salad and zesty citrus fruit

--Canned, from Systembolaget. -- Cloudy golden, mid sized head. Huge aroma of minty tangerine and pears. Mid sweet with medium to full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Papaya, star fruit, tangerine and kumquat. Delicious hops on a functional body. Mid bitter finish. On the forefront of modern style ales where surface is everything, yet it remains relatively harmonious in old fashion. A winner!

Burk i hemmet utan jämförelse Dipa. Denna rackare åhhh tänker jag bara när jag klunkar. En härlig blandning av persikojos med mango och lite röda bär. Superbalanserad Nya Ängland öl. Lagom beska och lagom lågt kolsyrad. Sån här kvalitet önskar man i Nya Ängland Dipor.
