The regular edition of Latitude 48 is a blend of Ahantum, Simcoe, & East Kent Golding hops. The new editions dissect the hops of the original Lat 48, plus a few extra. A bit like Mikkeller has done with their single hop IPA series.
What You Need To Know:
Latitude 48 will be available in 6 options. Regular Latitude 48. Single hopped editions, Adhantum, Simcoe, East Kent Golding, Zeus, Hallertau Mittelfrueh.
From the labels:
Hallertau: …Brewed only with Hallertau Mittelfrueh Noble Hops, a traditional variety of Bavaria’s Hallertau in Germany… Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops contribute a soft bitterness, along with delicate lemony citrus and resinous pine notes, balanced by slight sweetness and full body from the five different malts.
