Single-hop beers feature the flavor of just one hop cultivar, to showcase the specific bittering and aromatics achieved. That contrasts with traditional brewing technique, in which a brewer uses one set of hops for bittering the beer during the boil, and later adds another blend of hops for aromatics-typically during fermentation and aging. Served on draft, single-hop beers sparkle with herbal, fruit and spice character, ranging from citrus and tropical fruit to berries, lemongrass and more.
