Cascade Centennial 2 Hop
Tasting 1 Overview
This is the 1st homebrew in our 2 Hop series. As someone new to homebrewing might want to take the time and test out hops. Here is the recipe. This is 1.25 gallons into the fermenter
2 LBS 4 oz 2-Row
.25 oz Cascade @60
.25 oz Centennial @10
.25 oz Cascade @5
.25 oz each 3 Days Dry Hop
6.73% ABV
Color: Yellow and clear. Carb level looks high
Smell: Floral Citrus. A little sweet malt. I think this is turn to Cascade Hops. Floral is the main note of Cascade with hints of citrus and grapefruit.
Taste: As in the smell you are getting Floral and Citrus. Floral is almost a yeast taste. Body is light.
Overall: Good taste for our 1st batch in this series. Hop time are good at this point. I think its balanced right now. Maybe if we had the 2019 versions of Cascade and Centennial the hops might stand out more.
Final Tasting
Color: Clear yellow
Smell: Floral citrus
Taste: Floral upfront with some sweet malt. Bitter citrus in back
Overall: Nice white head. I think the 2 hops are helping keep the malt down in this one. As we have seen in other beers that are 4 months old the malt has taken over and I think the hops help this one out. I think the 3rd tasting of this was the best.
