New Release: Troegs Hop Knife

Troegs Hop Knife

Troegs Brewing (Hershey, PA) has released the second in a series of three hop forward seasonals in 2014. Hop Knife is a harvest ale that utilizes hops at the peak of the growing season, insert them into the brewery’s Hop Cyclone during fermentation. The result is a beer full of chewy, fresh hops flavors, meant to be consumed as fresh as possible.

Hop Knife Harvest Ale recognizes the meticulous, time-honored tradition of hand-harvesting hops at the peak of maturity. Our HopCyclone process creates an inward spiral of hop dispersal during fermentation, releasing a bounty of citrus, resin and tropical aromas.

The first in the series was Troegs Cultivator, and the series will be completed with Blizzard of Hops later this year.

Style: Amber Ale
Hops: Cascade, Chinook, El Dorado
Malts: Crystal, Pilsner, Vienna

Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Initial release.

6.2% ABV, 87 IBUs
