Cluster
Single-Hop IPA
7.3% ABV, 85 BU

Description: The oft forgotten Cluster hop was the dominant hop in the US brewing industry for centuries.  With this single hop IPA, we’re putting it in the spotlight.  Clusters were added at every stage of the brewing process, allowing a good taste of the complexity and versatility of this hop.  A more delicate floral note at the top leads you deeper in to a grove of pineapple and orange, and a dewy herbal character follows closely behind.  It glows like an early summer sunset, has a clean bitterness and dried out nicely, making it highly drinkable.
