Being ever keen to try new food and drink experiences I thought I'd grab a can of this new beer (Rhythm Recipe) from my local craft brewery Siren. It's a hazy IPA (nothing new there) and is made with American hops (Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe), also nothing new! The new thing about this brew is the hopping method, they used a technique called "dip hopping" which essentially means making a "hop tea" (with the hops in large tea bag type things) and then blending the raw beer on top of them. It's claimed to give extra depth to the hop flavours, I can confirm it's definitely a flavorsome beer! It tastes of the hops used but feels like it should be an 8% double IPA (i.e. BIG flavours!) but in reality is only a 5% ale, almost sessionable. Good effort from the Finchampstead crew, will have to secure some more of this one!
