Description: SMaSH stands for Singe Malt & Single Hop. This offering features organic two row malted barley and Mosaic hops which are citrusy with grapefruit notes. The beer also gets dry hopped during its secondary fermentation which is where the big aroma comes from.
Heres what the guys over at (512) say about it: SMaSH stands for Single Malt and Single Hop. This is the first in a new series where we’ll explore certain individual hops against a common single malt background. The hop is selected from those already in use in other beers so we can explore the flavor and aroma of each hop individually. First up is a hop named MOSAIC, with notes of lemon, passion-fruit and firm, smooth bitterness. Very little, if any, malt sweetness and bright fruity hops make for a refreshing drink that’s easy to enjoy. We hope you do.
A lot of breweries have been doing a single hop series (Lone Pint, Zythophile). I love the idea as it really encourages the beer drinker to identify the individual hops. It trains the palate while relaxing the soul.
STYLE: American IPA
ABV: 5.3%
