Columbus IPA 15°

This beer is a typical representative of a beer style called American IPA. English by origin, this beer style was born in the colonial era as a beer which, thanks to its strength and bitterness, sustained the demanding journey to English colonies, most importantly to India. In the end of the twentieth century, this nearly forgotten beer style has been joyfully adopted by craft brewers in the USA, where it has swiftly spread in its numerous variations, mostly thanks to novel American-bred hop varieties. We have decided to brew this beer style with an outstanding hop variety called Columbus. It belongs to The Great Trinity of varieties CTZ (Columbus, Tomahawk and Zeus), which are amongst the most massively grown and which have had an overwhelming success. Columbus is up to five times more bitter than commonly used hops, yet has amazing aromatic properties. Dominant resin and spruce tones slowly disappear in black pepper and curry flavours, that all dressed in a duvet of tender citrus aroma. Moreover, many have compared its pleasant unobtrusive bouquet to the sweetish floral scent of marijuana. Come try for yourself to see what in this beer appeals to you.
