Single Hop Lager

Tasting Notes

Golden, aromatic, hoppy, experimental

Description

At Chuckanut Brewery we are constantly trying to learn more about our ingredients. Single Hop Lager is an opportunity for us to master our knowledge about the noble hop varietals we use and experiment with U.S. and other new world hop varietals. By using a simple malt bill & lager yeast, we allow the hops to shine through. We are excited to get to know these hops better and for our guests who drink Single Hop Lager to enjoy the beer and learn more about hops too!

This new rendition of Single Hop Lager uses NW Willamette Valley El Dorado. This hop is a popular varietal used in hop forward beers across the Pacific NW due to its bright tropical fruit flavors and aromas of pineapple, melon and stone fruit. High alpha acid levels offer a strong yet balanced bitterness. Single Hop El Dorado will quench your thirst while offering visions of the gentle beat of waves rolling against white sandy shores and a warm breeze rustling through palm trees.

Food Pairing

Fish & Chips along with Fried Chicken and Peanuts in the shell will work wonderfully with the Single Hop Lager.  The malt flavor and dry hop tastes of the beer go well with spicy foods too.
