Tasting Notes

Intense hop flavor and aroma, heavy pine and tropical fruit.

Brewed for a good friend for his wedding reception but we decided such a huge brew was probably not going to be enjoyed or appreciated by regular beer drinkers. He wanted a big beer for less than $100 and this is what I came up with.

Like I said, this beer is huge. Massive hop flavor and aroma. Little to no warmth in the back end, malt balance is solid and balances the hops very well. If you've got $80 laying around, I'd definitely brew this up. Going to enter this one in a competition in March, I'm sure it will get good ratings.

Citra, Galaxy, Simcoe and Summit are a nice combination. I've never tried Kohatu. That is a big hop bomb!

Kohatu IMO is like simcoe and galaxy mixed. A nice blend of tropical fruit and pine. Not too heavy on either though. LOL yeah its a hop bomb alright! I love it though, very tasty. He told me what he likes and what he wanted to spend and I had to come through.

@jfrank85 any updates on this one? Looks awesome

Oh man, are there ever. I'm brewing this one again this week during my vacation. I'm going to up the 2 row by 1# and drop the Munich by 1# but overall it was a massive hit. Super citrus/tropical nose and flavor with a great malt background with a touch of toast at the end. The Kohatu and simcoe added a great pine balance to the tropical flavors. I'm really proud of this one.

Boop, aromas jumped from the glass.
