Beers that "feature" a particular hop

Im not good at this picking out Hops. I really need to work on it however, if you go through the list of the top IPA's/DIPAs you can find a lot with it in the name.

Kern River Citra
Weyerbacher Simcoe
Hangar 24 Amarillo Pale Ale
Mikeller Single hop series

There are more.

Cheers!

 

old 21 = simcoe!

On a side note, I believe sixpoint does a series on tap only featuring the same base beer with different single hops. Sadly, the base beer blows salty nuts ;-(

 

"Spice of Life" I believe.
And I agree, it's pretty "mehh"

 

Two Hearted - Centennial
Arrogant Bastard - Chinook

 

Last year Sam Adams took their Latitude 48 IPA and offered a 12-pack with each of the hops used (I think it was 4) in that beer and single-hopped them into the other beers in the 12-pack so that you could experience the flavor of each as well as all combined. I enjoyed the experience. However, I have not heard if they will do it again this year. Seems to me it came out in early summer last year, so it should have been out by now if they kept the same schedule.

The Mikkeller Single-Hop series was mentioned above, and I tried two of them last year but did not think they were accurate flavors for what I know that particular hop to be.

 

Zombie Dust- Citra
Founders Centennial
Not available in bottles yet, but i hear it will be; Foothills Jade.

 

Damn, was going to say Founder Centennial. Founders Pale is all Cascade I think.

 

Pilsner Urquell - Saaz
Anchor Steam - Northern Brewer
Anchor Liberty - Cascade
Coniston Bluebird - Challenger

 

Another one from Anchor-
Humming Ale just came out, and it features Nelson Sauvin hops.

 

anchor brekle - citra.
many local brewers here are too cheap to use anything but use 1 hop, lol

 

Oskar Blues Gubna uses Summit hops only.

 

Also, yum.

 

Atlantic Brewing's New Guy IPA is all Columbus.

 

Mikkeller single hop series. theres like 9 of the same beer, just with a single hop. Citra was pretty good.

FFF Zombie Dust is all Citra
CCB Jai Alai is all Simcoe

I hop so. Its good and so damn popular.

 

Did you like Humming Ale? What flavors did you perceive from the Nelson Sauvin hops?

Cheers!

 

Mikkeller Citra f*cking rocks

 

Oh yeah, I definitely liked it last time around and have been meaning to get some of this year's version the next time I'm at the store. I passed it over the last two times, but not the next one! From what I remember, the hops leaned toward what I'd call a more 'noble hop' direction, spicy and floral, but had some fruitiness in there as well (kind of a lemony/kiwi thing). It was pretty unique and distinctive.

 

If you're really serious about learning different hop characteristics, it might be worth while to go down to your local homebrew store an pick up an ounce each of a handful of different varieties.

 

DuClaw has just come out with a series for their Anti-Venom with single hop strains. I have two bottles, but haven't had them yet. I saw the Mikkeller series on sale recently, but remembered they came out about a year ago, so I assume the hops would have faded to a point of not really making their point.
