Smuttynose Big A IPA (9.2 ABV)

For our hopping regime we went with Cascade and Nuggets in the boiling addition. Centennials were added every 5 minutes for the last 30 minutes of the boil. We added Crystals into the whirlpool. Dry hopping was done in both the fermentor after primary fermentation and the bright tank. We used a mixture of Chinook, Nuggets, and Sterlings in the fermentors and whole leaf Centennials in the bright tank.

bottle. citrusy/hoppy aroma. It is sharply bitter. Great if you like strong hops. Tastes like an imperial IPA.
