How To Make Football Helmet Cake

Mikkeller Single Hop Cascade IPA

Second "single hop" tasted after Centennial . This time is the cascade hops to be the protagonist. Probably the most widely used type of hops in the United States, was "created" in 1972 in Oregon by the USDA (U.S. Department dell'Agricolutra) crossing and Fuggles hops Serebrianker (Russia), the name " cascade" is a tribute to the homonymous mountain range that crosses the Oregon.
The appearance is amber, sheer, large foam ocher, fine, creamy and very persistent. The nose is sweet, with orange and grapefruit pulp, as well as malt and caramel. The mouth is very light, slim, with a medium-high carbonation. On the palate we find the same elements of the flavoring; IPA this is definitely the most balanced and enjoyable Centennial, with a nice balance of malt and hops. Ends dry, astringent soon, leaving a bitter aftertaste, resinous but not "scraping", not very long. An exercise in "learning" that gives rise to a beer almost "complete" a good IPA but little muscular, with a body very fragile. Bottle of 33 cl., ABV 6.9%, maturity, 12/2011, € 5.90.
