Our brewers have been busy experimenting with our flagship IPA! By doubling the dry hop dose or switching out the finishing hops altogether, the base beer recipe remains constant. Enjoy tasting them side by side and comparing the effect of our minor recipe tweaks. We, of course, included our traditional Bent Hop so you can have a base camp wile navigating through the remixed versions. Cheers!
Our tried and true, original Bent Hop has a malt profile that features American and European malts with a pale to deep gold appearance. We balance this bold yet traditional malt backbone with a mix of unique hops. Centennial and El Dorado are the predominant hops, lending intense notes of grapefruit, citrus, and pine that resonate throughout this beer.
Citra Bump Bent Hop was born in our cask program and is one of the go-to casks we make with our flagship IPA. The addition of Citra hops brings refreshingly bright citrus and floral aromas to the traditional dry-hop bill of Bent Hop. Hoppy, citrus, and floral notes shine.
Slightly Angled Bent Hop was born from our desire to experiment with the Bent Hop profile. We use Citra and Cashmere in the dry-hopping phase, giving it intense citrus and floral hop flavors upfront. It finishes with a smooth, tropical melon/pineapple flavor.
Double Dry Hopped Bent Hop consists of reducing the initial dry hop of the standard El Dorado/Centennial/Glacier mix with a secondary dry-hop of Strata and Citra hops to bring forth dank notes of passionfruit and bright citrus flavors.
