Columbus, Tomahawk and Zeus, or the CTZ hops, are the most famous example of this phenomenon. CTZ hops are known as super-alpha hops due to the extremely high percentage of alpha acids they contain, making them ideal bittering additions. Columbus hops can be found alongside Centennial hops in Stone Ruination IPA or in Saranac's Brown Ale.BlackIsleColnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446619919848028712.post-57866433095822464502011-11-26T00:09:48.702-08:002011-11-26T00:09:48.702-08:00My understanding was that the Mikkeller single hop...My understanding was that the Mikkeller single hops use the same amount of hops for each brew - there's no adjustment for hop alphas.

I like finding out what different hop varieties taste like, then a single-hopped beer comes along and masquerades as a different hop and my preconceptions are reset to zerobeersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446619919848028712.post-20614662809317042972011-11-25T15:50:15.495-08:002011-11-25T15:50:15.495-08:00Tomahawk (and Zeus for that matter) are effectivel...Tomahawk (and Zeus for that matter) are effectively Columbus also sometimes called CTZ hops, super high alpha and super assertive in flavour as well.<br /><br />I reckon those 3 would meld very well in an IPA.dredpenguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317014192310735266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446619919848028712.post-66366558131724100082011-11-25T15:37:32.459-08:002011-11-25T15:37:32.459-08:00Actually, considering pretty much all are below 7....Actually, considering pretty much all are below 7.5%, and most are rather reasonable, it's not too much of a gamble :)Ghost Drinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753576955816756710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446619919848028712.post-47107452104260246562011-11-25T15:35:19.661-08:002011-11-25T15:35:19.661-08:00Given the money to buy some of these beers, this i...Given the money to buy some of these beers, this is a very very brave experiment for people though.Meer For Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491541613823327962noreply@blogger.com
