Cellarmaker recently got our hands on some New Zealand Pacific Jade hops. By no means a new hop, it’s new to us, so we made a pale ale that features it in the dry hop. We also hopped it with Citra, Simcoe & Mosaic. We used 30% spelt for a smooth, full body in this crushable beer.

On tap at Cellarmaker. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is floral with pale, doughy malts, light tangerine and grapefruit. The flavor is the same with some light strawberry notes. Floral and citrusy in the finish. Good.

Tap at Ale Aresenal. Fantastic aromas of grapefruit and slight pine. Tropical fruit in moderate amount. Hazy yellow-gold with almost non-existent white head. Taste follows aroma.

The beer is a pale orangey, yellow tan color. It’s quite hazy. Head is white and seems to have decent retention and lacing. Wonderfully fruity hop aroma. Lots of delicate tropical fruit flavors. Pretty juicy for the abv. Pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango, melon, lime, tangerine. Pretty much the usual fruit flavor notes but it has a sweeter and more delicate tone than most from Cellarmaker. Very mild pepper. Taste is light and full of hop flavor. Quite good. Little to no malt presence. Mild to moderate bitterness. Just a big refreshing burst of hop fruitiness. Light mouthfeel. Normal carbonation. Very refreshing.
