TOPIC:

Picked up a bottle of the above in Amsterdam on wednesday evening, it's made with 15 hops added every 15 mins in the boil. Bit of a biggie, comes in at 10% in a 500ml bottle. Not *hugely* aromatic, but has a deliciously hoppy flavour, with a load of cascade to the fore and a slightly grassy finish. It's taken me over an hour to drink it due to the longevity of the aftertaste - it's got such a long finish it seems you forget how long it's been since the last mouthful. Will definitely drink again if I see it around.

sounds interesting, is there any dominant hop coming through or just hoppness?

also bud is supposed to use up to 10 different types of hops, it supposed to prevent them becoming dependent on one hop type and the consumer becoming associated with a hop type <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Pretty sure there's a big chunk of cascade in there, but it's not at all harsh like it can sometimes be - seems to be balanced out by something else. The website says "dont ask don't tell" <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

The spent hops from all the other breweries perhaps?

Does it really matter what hop varieties are used to make pre isomerized hop extract?

It seam not they are just after the alpha acid, an that one of the main reason the is going to be such shortage of aromatic hops for the foreseeable future.

some of our favorite flavor/aroma hops are been pulled up and replaced with high alpha yielding hops
