Bulldog British-Style IPA (2016)

The brewing of “The Bulldog” British-style IPA begins with bespoke floor- malted barley from Norfolk, England. This richly flavored base malt is combined with a touch of crystal malt for a juicy note and then balanced with Biscuit malt, which provides a drier, toastier element to the mix. The Bulldog also highlights two English hop pedigrees not often used in America, Challenger and Fuggle. With a higher alpha-acid content of 8%, Challenger provides the bulk of the hop bitterness to harmonize the sweetness of the generous malt bill. Along with hop bitterness, Challenger infuses cedar, green tea and sweet floral characteristics. The hop aroma is provided by the most revered and famous English hop known as Fuggle which has been grown since 1860. It is a delicate hop that offers pleasant mint, grass and floral notes. An extra layer of complexity is provided by a robust 7.6% alcohol content, sure to make any bulldog stand up and take notice! Show Less
