Title: O'Hara's Hop Heavy
Post by: Andy Q on September 15, 2014, 02:08:16 PM
Had a pint of this in Brewers corner the weekend, and thought it was great stuff, anyone have any info on it?? People on the web have described it as a lighter version of the DIPA, but I can't help but think it's got Southern Hemisphere hops in it, as it reminded me of a Nelson/cita combo that I once made(so thinking it might be Nelson & Galaxy, my palate aint great though)
Would love to brew something similar, that said if anyone know's if it might make it on to their regular offerings in the offies, that would be great news too!!

Thanks,

Andy

No info on the beer, but I agree it's a fine drop. Had some in the RDS. Dank as fuck. Didn't strike me as being particularly "southern hemisphere" but at that stage of the night, the old taste buds were a bit ragged.  :)

Never got to try this one but I quite enjoyed the dry hopped porter. Hope to see more of it.
