Deep Ellum IPA

Deep Ellum IPA

Our year round ode to the Pacific Northwest hop.



At DEBC, we like hops, but we like American hops most of all. Here we use some of our absolute favorites. However, they might not be used like you may expect, by using varieties with high alpha acid contents (which means more potential for bitterness) and using them in ways to emphasize the flavor and aroma we can render a rather bitter ale with over the top tropical fruit, citrus, pine, floral, and more hop derived aroma and flavor.



Style: American-style India Pale Ale

Hops: Citra, Amarillo, Chinook, Palisade, and Summit

Malts: Pale Ale, Vienna, Honey, and White Wheat

Yeast: English Ale

3.1 Burk från Systembolaget. Mörkt gyllengul med vitt skum. Örter, honung och citrus i både smak och doft.
3.4 Oj, lite felriktad smakbeskrivning. För mig smakar den här lakrits!
3.8 0,355 l can from Systembolaget Linköping. Very good IPA although just a little bit too bitter to me.
3.3 Date stamped canned on 1/13/2021. The aromas are slightly oxidized citrus and pine resin hops. With plenty of caramel malt. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with slight growing bitter towards the finish. Otherwise not too bad for its age.
3.0 Not bad, nothing to write home about.
3.0 12 oz can poured into a pint glass. Part of a four state variety pack of IPAs. Like the fact that the Texas brewer is willing to experiment with different hops, malts and even yeast. Result being an interesting beer that beats the shit out of the hazy junk the lame New England brewers came up with!
3.8 Aroma is hops, malts and a hint of alcohol/syrup. The flavor is fruit/citrus, malts, slight vegetables and a dryish/bitter hop finish.
3.1 Not bad, but not something to seek out unless you want a really filling beer
3.5 Solid, straightforward modern IPA. A touch of West Coast pine and caramel backed up by grapefruit, mandarin, passion fruit, and a smidge of peach. Finishes creamy and mild, with a modest pine-mineral bitterness and a hint of yeast. Nothing spectacular, but nothing wrong with it, either.
3.5 Part of a CANarchy mix 12-pack of cans from Giant Eagle, UA: deep gold pour, big sturdy white head. aroma is bittersweet caramel and pine hops. tastes are hoppy floral, caramel, bready, citrus bitter.

2.7 12 oz can, canned on 4/9/20. Pours clear light orange copper with a big fluffy off white head that retains well and leaves little lacing. The aroma is sweet caramel malt and soft fruit. The flavor is heavy biscuit malt with a little fruit and a lot of green grassy bitterness with an astringent finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation. Overall, too much biscuit malt and not enough fruity hops.
