Another first for our Scratch Beer Series, #226 utilizes a relatively new American-grown hop variety called Eureka! (Yes, the exclamation point is part of the trademarked name.) Our first time brewing with this variety, we experienced a dank, herbaceous bite and smack of pine resin with subtle hints of citrus, black currants, and mint-like tea. If you’re partial to pungent India Pale Ales, then perhaps we helped you discover a new favorite hop variety.

Had on-tap at the source. Served in an imperial pint glass.
4.25 A: Mildly hazed medium orange. Two fingers of creamy white head. Retention is average to good and one finger of lattice-like lacing is left behind.
3.75 S: Super resiny hoppiness. Also plenty of earth and citrus - orange with pineapple, mango, and grapefruit. Intense, but the aromas don't blend perfectly. Mildly bready maltiness. Still, very good.
3.0 T: Mild-moderate bitterness. Rather bland earthiness from hops. Bready malts with light caramel. This really fell apart in the taste.
2.75 M: Lighter medium body. Upper end of moderate carbonation. Aggressive, bity carbonation. Lacks creaminess.
3.0 D: Great nose, but really lacking in the taste.
