Centennial Single Hop India Pale Ale
Style: American India Pale Ale
Availability: ?
Format: 330ml
ABV: 6.9%
Bottle text & Info:
n/a. the latest in the single hop line.
Tasting Notes:
Pours a burnt orange with an inch and a half off white head that show tremendous retention. Rocky, craggy foam on top with massive amounts of clinging. Smells expressly of grapefruit. In no way as sweet as Founder's Centennial, this one is straight up grapefruit on medium body. Some touches of orange citrus here and there but pretty much puckering grapefruit powering through. A bit one dimensional, but excusable being a single hop. Pretty refreshing and a great look at the powerful hop strain deriving from the Cascade hop.

Day 81: 03.22.10 Mikkeller Cascade Single Hop IPA
Mikkeller
brewed at De Proef Brouwerij
Municipality of Lochristi
Province of East Flanders
Region of Flemish, Belgium
Cascade Single Hop India Pale Ale
Style: American India Pale Ale
Availability: ?
Format: 330ml
ABV: 6.9%
Bottle text & Info:
"The third in the series of single hop IPA's from Mikkeller. Brewed with Cascade, a true american classic hop type. This hop is less powerfull than the ones used in the previous two single hop IPA's - creating a great balance with the beers other aspects."
Tasting Notes:
Pours burnt orange with a half inch head that rapidly recedes. Smells of sweet malts and subtle wildflowers, slight pine in the end. Medium bodied creamy mouthfeel that boast slight toffee finishing with some restrained pine and grapefruit. Some interesting wood and vanilla notes here in the mix although this has never touched a barrel/cask. A pretty good amount of depth here although this is much more restrained then any of the other single hop offerings from Mikkeller. A fitting tribute and nice look at the hop that is so closely linked the monster that is Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
