COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer is a part of a Single Hop IPA series by Mikkeller. We created this series to showcase hop varieties on their own. This gives the consumer the possibility of smelling and tasting the unique characteristics of each variety and hopefully helping to educate people about the wonderful world of hops. For each beer, the single hop variety was used in the same weight for bittering, aroma and flavor and for dry hopping. All 19 varieties of single hop beers in this series were brewed the same week and with malts from the same batches and the same yeast and fermentation temperatures. This is done to better compare the characteristics of the different hop varieties.

Bottle from notes. Pours a clear orange amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have toasted pale malts, grass, herbal tea, earthy hops, some faded notes, on the lower end in the series.

MarkoNm (6155) - Novo mesto, SLOVENIA - DEC 20, 2014
Pours a dirty brown color, completely hazy with some debris flowing around. Topped with an average sized beige colored head. Caramel aroma, some biscuity notes and tiny fruity notes. Taste is sweet and biscuity, caramel and some spicy feel in the end. A gentle but very nice.

SinH4 (15469) - Garching bei München, GERMANY - NOV 25, 2014
As goes for all the Hop Series beers I’ve tasted: the bottles were probably quite old, best before of April/May 2015, so some of the hop characteristics might have already gone away. Nice orange color with big head (darkness varied a bit). Very piney and resinous, american style. Sweet. Good finish with lingering bitterness and full body. Very good!

Aroma: bit of spice and some floral notes fading to malty character App: amber orange and an amazing tan head meringue stable with sheet lacing Flavour: some metallic hop and clean malt Palate: long finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
