This thread is meant to be a directory of commercial beers brewed with multiple hops, but have one particular hop focus. The reason is so our community can have a better handle on whether they enjoy or dislike the use of the targeted hop in question. Single hop beers, like those from Mikkeller, are not always easy to come by, and can be expensive to purchase by the individual bottle.

If you know of a popular beer that many craft beer fans should have tried, which also focuses on one type of hop as a late and/or dryhop addition, then please add to the below list.

Green Flash Hop Head Red - Amarillo Focus
Stone IPA - Centennial Focus
Bell's Two Hearted- Centennial Focus
Kern River Citra - Citra Focus
Surly Abrasive - Citra Focus
Three Floyd's Zombie Dust - Citra Focus
Troegs Nugget Nectar - Nugget Focus
Weyerbacher Double Simcoe - Simcoe Focus

Helpful Rules for the Directory:

All pale to red to brown hop-forward beer styles welcome... even Non-IPAs.

Do post in the format above for easy navigation, i.e. Bold Name - Hop Focus

Do include the name of the brewery and the name of the beer with your suggestion.

Do make a polite correction if someone posts false info. When correcting, also mention the rule violation.

Do not include single hop beers, such as those from Mikkeller or Sam Adams Latitude, since they are obvious and redundant to suggest.

Do not include any homebrews or SMaSH'es. Popular commercial selections only for comparison purposes.

Do not include beers with dual or multiple late hop variety focuses.

Do not repeat a recommendation already mentioned.

Do not suggest a rare or discontinued beer, or one from your home town that the rest of the world has not had a chance to try.

Do not suggest a beer that is not hop-forward in nature, or one that relies on an insignificant amount of hops.

Do not offer a suggestion based on what you personally got from the beer with no factual focus for how it was actually brewed.

Do not repost or quote someone's very long post. It is distracting and unnecessary for a thread like this.

Do not get sidetracked and start a separate discussion if you don't agree with something, or are curious about discussing a different matter with someone. That's what the private message feature is for.
