The Single Hop Series allows us to showcase our creative side within the constraint of using a single hop.
The third in our Single Hop Series has its roots in an award winning homebrew called Roaring Queen. Historically the Belgians are not known for beers with loads of New World hops aroma, but who are we to bow down to brewing tradition when we don’t need to? The citrusy Amarillo plays well with the Belgian yeast notes, and the malt is just enough to carry the flavour combination off without getting in the way.

On tap @ Cask Pub & Kitchen. This is a light blurry looking one, deep orange golden in color and it has a nice medium sized just off-white head. Mild aroma with a little bit of citrus combined with a nice malt sweetness. It's also quite fruity with a light acidity on the side. Brett perhaps? Sour gooseberries and white currant juice? Smells quite nice. Yeah, it's flavorful. Really flavorful. Light oily and creamy in the mouth and the carbonation level is above average. Lots of brett flavors here. White currants, the lightly acidic type, green slightly sour grapes and leafs. Autumn leafs. Like the stingy zesty citrus touch this has. Grassy bitter tail that's refusing to let go. Quite a high quenching potential on this one. 08.11.2013
