Challenger- Hopped Red at Pizza Co. Today

Posted on August 11, 2009

Challenger

Single Hop Red

 

Here’s the latest single hop beer- a red ale featuring just one variety of hops. This time we’ve turned to Challenger hops. Challengers are a UK pedigree variety, though we’ve used US grown here. They’re considered good hops for both bittering and aroma. They feature a citrusy character, though more reminiscent of English ales than the hop bombs we’re used to on the West Coast today.

 

ABV 6.6%

IBU 40

OG 15
