8 Degrees Denali Single Hop
I love that 8 Degrees are constantly trying new things. Sometimes they miss (see the review of Cumulus Lupulus for example), and sometimes they hit. This is definitely the latter.
Denali seems to be a relatively new hop (it’s definitely new to me anyway), which is what drew me to it. Pouring a dark caramel with a white head, tropical fruits come screaming out of the glass. Lots of pineapple, spice, and a bit of pine which creates an aroma I’ve not noticed in an IPA til now.
Drinking it provides a similar taste to the aroma, but adds just enough bitterness. This is a cracking beer. Well done, 8 Degrees!
