The style of the latest beer from Moosehead’s Small Batch Brewery is no accident. The limited-edition Single Hop American IPA recognizes the man who first launched Moosehead into the United States in 1978: Derek Oland. Oland, who is today the brewery’s Executive Chairman, spearheaded one of the boldest moves the company ever made – one that helped catapult Moosehead into a globally-recognized brand.
Derek’s Single Hop American IPA was created to celebrate Derek’s incredible legacy, and to recognize every entrepreneur who has the courage to make their dream a reality. The unique El Dorado single hop used in this IPA offers firm but balanced bitterness and elicits bright tropical flavors and aromas of pineapple, mango and pear.

Can 47,3 cl. Cloudy golden with a lacing, white head. Biscuity nose with piney and tropical hops. Medium body, a dry, tropical fruitiness with a muted, finishing bitterness. Like an old school West Coast IPA without the bitterness. 250624
