In honor of Kevin Smith AND Alternate Ending being featured in our favorite local magazine, @communitymagnj, Chuckleheads 3 is back with two new hops, Citra and Chinook! We are really excited to pair these two hops together to make a juicy IPA with notes of pine. During my schooling at ABG in Vermont, our hop lecturer discussed a unique phenomenon called biotransformation, which is when a chemical process occurs during fermentation that causes yeast cells to transform hop components into new compounds. This essentially transforms the hops, often having a profound effect on taste and aroma. Our hop lecturer/guru always got really excited when discussing Chinook as his favorite hop to biotransform, and what better hop to pair it with than Citra?

16 oz can from the brewery, 2/17/21. Canned 2/10/21. Pours a nice orange color with a beige head that leaves strong lace on the glass. Grapefruit, melon, hop oil resin, and citrus peel all coming through. Drinks on the dry side, with that hop oily feel to it. Interesting stuff and pretty nice overall.
