#BRU 1 HOP PROFILE FREE#
I definitely plan to use more BRU-1 LUPOMAX in the future and look forward to seeing how it plays with other varieties!īRU-1 LUPOMAX hops are available now at Yakima Valley Hops, get some while you can! If you have any thoughts on this variety, please feel free to share them in the comments section below.Īll designs are available in various colors and sizes on Amazon!įollow Brülosophy on: FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM My expectation when brewing this beer was that the fruity characteristics of BRU-1 would be amplified by the LUPOMAX processing, and while I enjoyed the beer quite a bit, the hop character did come across as slightly muted. It’s possible this explains the reason so many felt BRU-1 LUPOMAX would work well in pale lager, though the highest rated style was APA/IPA, naturally. Interestingly, a majority of tasters reported the hop character in this beer as being mildly pungent, though a few felt it was moderate to strong. The most prominent aroma and flavor characteristics noted by people who evaluated a Pale Ale made solely with BRU-1 LUPOMAX were citrus, tropical fruit, and stone fruit, with floral receiving high ratings as well. When processed into concentrated LUPOMAX pellets, brewers are able to use less while achieving the same or more hop character in their beer. | CONCLUSION |Īs a newer hop variety, and one of the first developed by Brulotte Farms, BRU-1 has risen quite rapidly in popularity due to its characteristic fruity and floral characteristics. My Impressions: I was pleased with how this beer turned out and perceived a nice blend of fruity and floral hop characteristics, though it wasn’t quite as pungent as I expected based on the aroma I got when opening the bag of hops. Tasters were then instructed to identify beer styles they thought the hop would work well in.įinally, participants were asked to rate how much they enjoyed the hop character on a 1 to 10 scale.
When asked to rate the pungency/strength of the hop, most tasters perceived it as being mildly to moderately pungent. The 3 characteristics endorsed as being least prominent by participants: Aroma The 3 characteristics endorsed as being most prominent by participants: Aroma Average Ratings of Aroma and Flavor Perceptions The average aroma and flavor ratings for each descriptor were plotted on a radar graph. | RESULTS |Ī total of 17 people participated in the evaluation of this beer, all blind to the hop variety used until after they completed the survey. Once the data was collected, the average rating of each aroma and flavor descriptor was compiled and analyzed. For each aroma and flavor descriptor, tasters were asked to write-in the perceived strength of that particular characteristic on a 0-9 scale where a rating of 0 meant they did not perceive the character at all and a 9 rating meant the character was extremely strong. Participants were instructed to focus only on the aromatic qualities of the beer before evaluating the flavor. The filled keg was placed in my keezer and burst carbonated overnight before I reduced the gas to serving pressure. After a week of conditioning, I began serving it to blind tasters. With fermentation complete, I pressure transferred the beer to a CO2 purged keg.
In typical fashion, I used our standard Hop Chronicles Pale Ale recipe as the base for this batch, adapting all additions based on the potency of LUPOMAX. Having never brewed with this relatively new variety, I was excited for my first BRU-1 batch to be a single hop LUPOMAX Pale Ale. Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to sample a number of beers made with BRU-1 and tended to enjoy them quite a bit. Parentage: developed through open pollination Haas began offering a LUPOMAX version of BRU-1 that concentrates all the best parts of this delectable variety into consistently potent pellets. Haas, BRU-1 was released as an experimental variety in 2016 and quickly earned itself a good reputation for its ability to impart beer with notes of juicy pineapple and stone fruit.
