I'm Idaho - Pale Ale Recipe

I'm Idaho

Pale Ale - 5.5 Gallons - All Grain - ABV 5.3% - IBU 39 - SRM 2

Recently we were able to get our hands on a bunch of fresh Idaho 7 hops. We had been trying to get them for awhile, and when we got them in we were pretty stoked. First thing to do? Brew a SMaSH with them to see what the flavour profile is like. For those not aware, a SMaSH is an acronym referring to Single Malt and Single Hop. It is way to learn more about a particular ingredient in a beer. Generally, it is used to see what a hop tastes like.

So the beer! Named after Ralph’s phenomenal costume where he is dressed as the state of Idaho. We put a little more effort into the beer than Ralph did his costume. It is crisp, light, and very hop forward. It isn’t bitter at all, but has a lot of hop aroma. The Idaho 7 really shines in this recipe. We had notes of peace, grapefruit and tropical fruit from the beer. It’ll be a great patio sipper.
