Common descriptors are Our exploration of the brewing landscape endures with this latest Scratch Beer creation. With Scratch #163, we perpetuate our recurring series of single hop Pale Ales using a different experimental hop variety. This time, we’re playing with a hop simply known as “871.” Developed by the American Dwarf Hop Association (ADHA), “871” presents a varied range of flavors and aromas including soft floral and ripe citrus notes as well as strong herbal tones. An exercise in simplicity, Scratch #163 incorporates this lone, versatile hop with two classic malt varieties and our house ale yeast strain to deliver a sessionable, full-flavored Pale Ale. At 54 IBUs, it also packs a fairly substantial bitter punch. |
