I tried this beer from from a smaller brewery in CA, they don't distribute here in TX so I e-mailed the head brewmaster and he said the following about it:
I know the beer is 7.3% ABV and 73IBUs Around 15 on the SRM.
The aroma of the beer is what hooked me. Bright citrus/pine without the bitterness of the beer itself overpowering the smell.
It was the Hop Riot by Highwater Brewing, maybe if you've had it you can give me some tips of the hops additions?
This would be my first time building my own brew from scratch so explanations of amounts would help. All the other extract, partial mash, and all grains i've done were from kits.
Malt is pretty much just 2-Row and some C-15
for a little color and flavor. Bitter addition is Magnum. Finishing and Whirlpool
hops are Cascade. Citra & Apollo for dry hop. Getting the dry hop ratio is the
secret sauce, more Citra than Apollo is where we go. Apollo can get very "garlicky"
and green onion like. Start small and work upwards on Apollo percentage.
