Dave's BrewFarm Jarrylo Single Hop Lager


Dave's Brewfarm Jarrylo Single Hop Lager, Dave's BrewFarm, Wilson, WI. 6.4% ABV. It's a single hop lager with that new hot hop Jarrylo. I don't know if it's hot or not, actually, I just heard of it for the first time today, twice. It's new, it must be hot.

Appearance: clearish, bright amber/golden coloring, slimmish white head, lace-leaving. I like it.

Aroma: Soft. Sweet. Citrus-y. Lemon and orange, little bit of lime.

Taste: Ah! Whoa, what was that? Ah! Nothing but ah. Perfect blast of citrus and bittersweet Malt is lean and clean here, the hops are shining, like they do. Hop presence is huge, bitterness is big, and citrus is chiefest among the flavors.

It's big and bitter, but not overly so, and ending dry. Very satisfying, and again, not the sort of thing you'd think of when you think of a lager.

What Farmer Dave want to tell us about it? "Pils, Cara Red, and Caramel 20 malts, and hopped with three additions of Jarrylo hops. Fermented with lager yeast."
