Scratch #175 furthers our exploration of the experimental hop variety “06277” (aka “Nuggetzilla”). These potent cones from experimental hop fields in Yakima, WA invigorate this session-strength IPA with an intense smack of pine resin and pineapple as well as gentler notes of strawberry and key lime. To put a local spin on this particular Scratch beer, we’ve incorporated a percentage of malted barley from Deer Creek Malthouse, a local, sustainable company from the Philadelphia area producing small-batch artisan malt products. John Trogner recently led a small group from the brewery on a field trip to tour Deer Creek’s facility, so you can expect to see more of their malt pop up in future Scratch releases.

A nice session IPA. The smell was very good with a lot of hop aroma. The taste was there too. Not quite up to the nose , but quite good for a session IPA. Probably the best session IPA I have had. It was also served draft soon after release, which may have added to the pleasure.
