COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For this hop bomb we used Columbus at the beginning of boil, Amarillo at 30 minutes, and Zeus and Galena at 5 minutes left in the boil. Then we dry-hopped it with Cascade and Zeus. Galena and Zeus are typically used mainly for bittering at the beginning of the boil, due to their extremely high alpha acid levels. But Ivan, who came up with this recipe, wanted to see how they behaved when used for more for aroma, towards the end of the boil and as dry-hops. EDITOR’S NOTE: Draft Only

Clear light amber with a sticky off white foam. Aroma is big spice and pine resin hops, some toasted malt, caramel. The body feels a bit thin. Taste is a metallic caramel note, then a lightly bitter finish of pine and spicy hops. A bit disappointing compared to some past Hop Projects.

Source:Tap at the brewery.
Glass:Pint.
Appearance:Poured a hazy amber color with a thin off white head.
Aroma:Citrus dominates with a hint of caramel. Maybe a slight resinous note.
Flavor:Back to the good ole days. Citrus and caramel with a solid, clean bitter finish.
Palate:Medium body with solid carbonation.
Overall:After the 13-16 experiments really bombed, this was a nice change. Much more crisp and clean, without the astringent bitter finish of the past few.
