Eleven is made with a single variety of hops, Phoenix, from the UK. Phoenix was developed at Wye College to be a high alpha acid (bitterness) hops with a British flavor profile. Phoenix is also low in cohumulone and high in aromatic oils, so you can throw a ton of ’em in and the beer will stay smooth and aromatic. This beer has 109 IBUs in it!
The taste profile is incredibly balanced and dangerously drinkable for an 11.7% brew. But don’t look for that grapefruity-piny taste you get from US hops (not that there’s anything wrong with that), these buds are fruity and earthy with an almost berry-like aroma, to give this beer a unique taste among big IPAs. Bitterness we got! And malt to back it up, with the result being a very intriguing beer you’ll just want to sip all night thanks to Phoenix hops. Cheers!

Bottle. It pours an orangey dark golden body and almost no head. The aroma still has a good hoppyness, altough faded. Pine cones and resins and a good dash of orange zest. Maltyness too. It’s quite bitter in the mouth, with malty sweetness trying to balance it. Pine cones, orange and some phenolic notes. Lasting bitter finish with a nice sugary maltyness. Even though it’s more than six years old, it’s a nice DIPA. 130216

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste unfortunately are oxidated and hardly any hops left in the nose. Finish is long and bitter though with some alcohol as well.

Cloudy amber brown beer, thick off white head. Soft airy palate. Deep rich hops with a bitterish edge. Malt is smoth - almost creamy. Soft dry finish with more rich hops and a touch of caramel. Obviously a strong beer but the alcohol doesn’t interfere.
