The flavor of Scratch #211 is ensconced in mystery. In fact, you’d be surprised to learn that we brewed this puzzling DIPA exclusively with a single hop variety. The hop in question is a new Australian variety appropriately named Enigma. Cultivated through Hop Products Australia’s in-house breeding program, Enigma is a tough hop to crack flavor-wise. Reminiscent of semi-sweet white wine, raspberry, and faintly tart redcurrant (similar to a gooseberry), this versatile hop variety also demonstrates shades of bright tropical fruit and delicate fleshy melon (think honeydew and cantaloupe).
