A Hoppy Rye Pale ale brewed to celebrate brewer Houblon & StorkRock’s 25th Wedding Anniversary.
Made with Maris Otter, Munich and Rye malt. Hopped with Simcoe, Chinook, Sorachi Ace and Galaxy hops on the hot side and dry hopped for 4 days with 25g/l of Chinook and Galaxy cold side. The bitterness is kept lower and the hops aim to be juicy to head towards the New England IPA style but without embracing full chicken soup clarity.
The beer has a juicy hop fruitiness and an interesting spicy rye prickle in the mouth, and moderate bitterness
