Our fifth brew is a proper hop-monster, no doubt about that! To celebrate our independence (and Yorkshire Day if there’s any left by then!) we have brewed a beer with a huge 1 kilo of hops per brewer’s barrel (36 gallons) including Columbus for bittering and pungent hop flavour, Magnum for soft bitterness, Centennial for "sherbet lemon" citrus flavour and aroma, Chinook for grapefruit flavour and aroma, Cascade for its sublime citrus zest and, finally, a big helping of gloriously pungent and fruity Citra at flame-off... plus it’ll then be dry-hopped in the cask with Cascade and Amarillo (a mix suggested by Gazza’s favourite Portland brewpub) for good measure!

Hand bottle at ChrisO pre GBBF 2010. Pale gold, thin white head. My lasst rating of the evening before falling asleep under the bit of the ceiling that had already fallen down. Blinding beer Gazza and Dave, for an American Pale Ale this is everything I want especially in terms of hops. Lovely hop aroma mix of PNW hops, really drinkable. Would love to try this on cask fresh.

Handbottled@The Chriso Rock The Roof Down pre-GBBF Shindig. Golden colour, mall white head. Arom is grass, wood, quite much citrus fruits as well as some mild caramel and bready malts. Flavour is quite fruity and floral with also some slight grassyness as well as bready malts. A quite plesantly balanced end easy to drink beer.
