The Big Hop: Smash IPA

A celebration of hops, this IPA  is named after "The Big Hop" mural at Watsacowie.

These ultra fruity nectar filled flowers give this beer an otherworldly flavour.

With the "Single Malt And Single Hop" SMASH style we use simplicity to showcase a new hop variety each brew.

Current Batch - #503

ABV: 5.8%

Ingredients:

Hops - Dolcita (USA) Malt - Joe White Pilsner Malt Yeast - Verdant IPA

Tasting Notes:

Our biggest big hop yet!

Absolutely bursting with aromas of tropical mango, lychee, banana smoothie with berries, cream and caramel too. Smooth as they come with no detectable bitterness, we get juicy and creamy flavours and mouthfeel with a clean honey-like pilsner malt in the background letting these hops truly shine.

Dolcita is a very new hop variety and demonstrates what huge new flavours these newer varieties can offer.

Unlike other hops there are no grassy or piney notes, just pure juice.
