I wrote about the Odell Imperial Peach IPA, and while it does have peaches in the mix, the hops clearly complement them and were chosen to massively boost that profile. It was awesome.<br /><br />http://www.focusonthebeer.com/2013/04/a-beer-worth-buying-odell-brewings-tree.htmlErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080459111984448901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-20523588559947908102013-07-06T16:19:15.844-07:002013-07-06T16:19:15.844-07:00I had many Double-Wide IPAs this past week...I'...I had many Double-Wide IPAs this past week...I'm not ready to give up my mouth blasting piney, bitter, fruity IPA.

I tasted it for the first time last night and it wasn't quite what I expected. Bitterness is definitely in the background and it is mildly sweet. I thought it would be a golden, citrusy hop bomb.<br /><br />Clearly, the trend toward late addition hops and Pete Dunlophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456380762400522665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-405122493587359322013-07-05T18:09:42.222-07:002013-07-05T18:09:42.222-07:00I'm with Vasili here.

It's the shift from early kettle/high BU hopping to late kettle/high flavor and aroma hopping, all combined with these new ultra-fruity hop varieties that didn't exist even five years ago.<br /><br />Reds--that's a whole nother deal, isn't it?

Interpretations could be dry or sweet in either category, relative to each other. I suppose they could likewise be Lighter or Darker; or edge closer to Red, but just because it has more body doesn't mean it is darker. You can achieve that with mash temps, Carapils or Dextrin malts.

It is really the opposite of what Jeff is talking about, used mostly for boosting alcohol without leaving the body all grain brewing would. Sweetness would be a combination of creating more complex sugars average beer yeasts can not ferment as well as hop variety choice and de-emphasizing the bittering additions for vasilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-28223311808632735342013-07-05T10:18:28.734-07:002013-07-05T10:18:28.734-07:00Maybe it's the Corn Dextrose everyone is addin...Maybe it's the Corn Dextrose everyone is adding?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-38211843184025501382013-07-05T10:03:21.996-07:002013-07-05T10:03:21.996-07:00Well said!
