THIS BEER IS

5AM Saint's big brother. Dry- hopping with Chinook gave Hops Kill Nazis a full-on, instantly recognisable US hop character - huge resinous aromas (think giant redwood) with a bitter grapefruit edge. The caramel malts bring flavours of toffee and burnt sugar, which gave Hops Kill Nazis a big, complex malt base supporting the intense hopping.

BREWER'S TIP

Brewers Tip Icon

A red colour is a difficult hue to achieve in beer. Experiment with different amounts of Crystal malt to fine tune the colour.
