Our cooperation with the Hop Institute in Žatec has a very concrete result – a beer that gives space to a single, but all the more interesting hop. The variety with the working name 5461 is still in the testing phase, but it won us over immediately. At last year’s bonitation – a sensory evaluation of freshly harvested hops – we were literally blown away by its aroma. There was an explosion of citrus aroma from the hop cones, backed up by apricot sweetness and an interesting spicy aftertaste. This comes through beautifully in the New England IPA. This is a beer that shows that Czech hops can have a place in the world of modern, aromatic beer styles. This planet belongs to the future – and we’re glad to be one of its first inhabitants.
