Sam Adams Lattitude 48 IPA… Deconstructed!

May 20, 2011 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

May 20, 2011 –

Latitude 48 IPA is a flavorful IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from renowned German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude.  The brew is dry hopped for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma.  The assertive but not overpowering hop character is balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the five different malts.

Single hop beers… All good and all free to try at our tasting!

Halltertau Mittelfrueh Noble Hops:

A traditional variety of Bavaria’s Hallertau in Germany, these hops contribute soft bitterness and delicate lemony citrus and resinous pine notes.

East Kent Goldings:

A variety first used in brewing in the 1700s in East Kent, England, these hops contribute a mellow bitterness to this brew, along with earthy, floral, and apricot notes.

Ahtanum:

A newer variety from the Yakima Valley area of WA, these hops contribute a balanced and typically “American” orange peel, piney, and floral flavor and aroma.

Simcoe:

Also from the Yakima Valley area of WA, these hops contribute a profound bitterness and dramatic grapefruit peel and pine resin notes.

Zeus:

Another varietal from the Yakima Valley area of WA, these hops contribute bitterness and an intense, pungent resinous pine flavor.
