American hops take center stage in this West Coast style IPA. The malt profile is dialed back to just light toast and caramel notes, and huge late kettle additions of Centennial, Cascade and Columbus hops give Big Mon a monstrous citrus and pine aroma. Brewer’s Log: I’ve been trying to perfect my IPA since I first started brewing. I wanted to make a bold, unapologetic IPA that features the resinous, citrusy American hops that I love. We were really lucky to get a Centennial contract, so we feature those especially. We get our aroma from adding most of the hops late in the boil and I add just a little biscuit and caramunich malts for some balancing sweetness and head retention.
