Common descriptors are
Pick up our SMaSH Society IPA series, and you’ll experience pure hop single hop aroma and flavor. Single Malt and Single Hop IPA. Every brew uses Pale Ale Malt, is brewed to yield 7.2% ABV, and hop additions are benchmarked at 70 IBUs in the first kettle addition. Flavor, aroma and dry hop additions are always the same quantity per barrel regardless of the hop used. The beers are crisp and the balanced from batch to batch. What makes each SMaSH Society IPA unique, is the single hop variety which is used changes every 5-6 weeks: every batch gets ONE hop varietal from kettle boil through dry hopping. Several hop additions for every batch maximize extraction of both flavor and aroma. By not blending multiple varieties (as most IPA do) you experience each hop in a way that is both educational and delicious. SMaSH Society IPAs are the most uninhibited ways to experience the nuances of each hop variety.
