842 Pale Ale

842 is a modern take on the classic American pale ale. We start with a very small bitter hop addition of Magnum during the beginning of the boil. During the final whirlpool stage of the the boil however, we throw in a ton of northwestern "C" hops to get as much fruity, crisp citrus flavor and aroma as we can. We then dry hop the bejeezus out of it with more citrus forward hops. A touch of caramel malt gives the grainy back bone just enough assertiveness to balance the huge hop character in this beer. We ferment this one bone dry to keep it clean and easy drinking while letting those big citrus aromas shine. Hop lovers rejoice! Show Less
