Just when you thought that you'd seen every possible permutation and combination of water, malt, yeast and hops in the traditional form of beer, something new comes along!
This tasty beverage from my local brewer Siren involves not only a new hop varietal but a brand new strain of yeast as well. The hop is called "Krush" and as you can probably guess comes from the USA, bred by Yakima hops it's a fruity little number with flavours that include stone fruits, berries and citrus and it goes well with other more well established hops like Citra and Nelson which are also in this beer. The new yeast strain is called Pomona and has been specifically bred to bring the best out of the hazy, hop forward IPA styles of beer prevalent today, I can confirm that the little critters have done an excellent job here!
