I tried a new Siren beer tonight while knocking up a hearty boeuf Bourgignon for supper, called "One Giant Leap" it's a delicious West Coast IPA featuring Apollo hops (hence the can-art and name etc.).
Apollo is usually used as a bittering hop in the boil (i.e. hot-side) rather than a flavouring dry hop during the whirlpool and/or fermentation but when married up with some Citra (as in this beer) on the cold-side the result is quite delicious. Grapefruit notes, citrus and resinous with a nice smooth bitterness I could drink this all day long (although at 6.5% probably not all day!) it's a really nice beer well done Siren!
