Fruit first rose with sweet yet bold berry flavors. A touch of bite when swallowing. Great with food or on its own. Nice with lamb, fish, or any balsamic dishes. — 12 years ago

Medium gold. Aromas more of orchards than fields. With air gaining a hint of tropical notes, pineapple. Distinctly sweeter than expected but residual CO2 saves the day, bless the Stelvin. — 12 years ago

Johnathon Braverman

Hellhound is a super-hoppy ale that hits 100 IBUs in the brewhouse and 10% ABV. It's dry-hopped with 100% Centennial hops at a rate of 100 kilos per 100 barrel brew-length.

To accentuate and magnify the citrusy notes of the Centennial hops (and as a shoutout to Robert Johnson's mentor Blind Lemon Jefferson), we add dried lemon peel and flesh to the whirlpool.
