Black Iris Brewery Tiny Axe (Cask)

For this project in April, we developed three different beers to showcase the best of American hops, with a focus on this series highlighting Yakima Chief Hops and the farms they work with. Tiny axe might be small in stature but it is crammed full of Citra hops. And not just any Citra hops but the T90 pellets come from Double 'R' Hop Ranch, who were specifically selected due to the high levels of oils and alpha acids in their hops. The Cryo Hops come from Coleman Agriculture in the Willamette valley whose hops had an interesting profile of oils that we wanted to express in this beer.
