Extreme Curves Mature

Mikkeller Single Hop Centennial IPA

of beer produced using only one type of hops (at least according to the trade description ...) there are several, but probably Mikkeller was the first (to be denied) to have the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a whole range of beers " hop single," for educational purposes. The series is suitable both for a hypothetical horizontal tasting in order to capture the differences (the base of the malt is always the same) is to be a sort of "manual" for practical homebrewers. The beers are all produced to De Proef , Belgium. The Centennial is amber in color, cloudy. The foam is ocher, fine and creamy, long finish. The nose develops aromas mainly citrus (grapefruit, lime) and pine. The body is slender, medium carbonation. In mouth to direct, abrupt, but other than a bitter fades soon enough (always peel of citrus and grapefruit) is the malt and caramel to drive the ball. The beer gives a few nuances and, honestly, the taste quickly becomes saturated and flows out without any particular emotion. Finishes very dry, a little 'astringent taste very bitter, resinous that "scratch" taste. Interesting experiment, beer is missing (intentionally) to focus on the characteristics of complexity Centennial hops. We are reminded of another excellent production immediately "all centennial: the Founders . If this indeed is only with this brass hop, comparing it wins hands down. Rating excessively high (97/100) on Ratebeer , for that matter. Bottle of 33 cl., ABV 6.9%, maturity, 12/2011, € 5.90.
