HOPPY FLORAL AND CITRUS FLAVORS

Superbloom™

Superbloom strains produce the primary flavor determinants of cascade hops and provide beer with the familiar floral and citrus notes of some of the ultra-classic pale ales. Superbloom strains allow brewers to create hop complexity, but without the planty vegetative notes.

How Berkeley Yeast’s Superbloom Builds Highly Drinkable Hoppy Beer

How Berkeley Yeast’s Superbloom Builds Highly Drinkable Hoppy Beer

Over the last decade, boom-and-bust cycles have defined the IPA category. Sour IPAs, overly bitter palate wreckers, and bone-dry brut IPAs have mostly disappeared, a dry-hopped gold rush that didn’t quite pan out. Session IPAs also fizzled out, even though the concept seemed like a certain winner. Drop an IPA’s alcohol by volume to a more restrained 4 or 5 percent, keep flavor and aromatics high, and count the profits. Outside of Founders All Day IPA, many session IPAs were too dry and thin to support hop bitterness.
