“One and Only” is our first single hop IPA in which we showcase the full aromatic capabilities of our favorite Citra hop. In order to best reflect them in the finished product, we used as many as 5 different hop products provided to us by the Simply Hops team:
- Incognito
- Lupomax pellets
- Spectrum
- T90 Pellets
- BBC Pellets
Also, after a long time of development, this if the first release showcasing our new Hazy IPA fermentation protocol called “Secret Sauce”.
It involves combining our house strain of Hazy IPA yeast with…. several other strains!
In this way we obtained a higher degree of biotransformation of hop compounds, which resulted in an even more intense aroma. So…get your taste buds ready for one of the most fruit forwards IPAs in #100mostow history!
Malts / extract:
As simple as possible, created to provide a good background for the intense hopping. As with most of our IPA style beers, we used only base malt and a bit of oats.
Hops:
All citra and only Citra, but in 5 different (and super aromatic) forms:
- Incognito
- Lupomax pellets
- Spectrum
- T90 Pellets
- BBC Pellets
Best when it`s fresh!
Such intensely hopped beers tastes insanely, especially fresh! Hop aroma decreases over time. Therefore, treat this beer with particular care, keep it in a dark and very cool place (the fridge will be a good solution) and do not wait – drink fresh!
