Hopzilla vs. The World Imperial IPA Beer Kit - All Grain

Description

Your Hopzilla vs. The World Imperial IPA gives you layers of juicy citrus, resinous pine, and dank complexity from generous additions of Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic hops. Simcoe at the start of the boil builds a firm bitterness foundation while Citra and Mosaic added later contribute intense tropical fruit flavors and aromas. Dry hopping with more Citra and Mosaic for five days ensures a spectacular aromatic finish. The base of Brewers 2-Row, Goldpils Vienna, and Caramel 20L malts provides a robust backbone with subtle sweetness to balance the hops. SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly so the hop character stays prominent.
