Comet is an old and wild American hop. It was used in lagers for its bold bittering properties but commercial production stopped in the 80s because of its flavours which were judged as too intense.
It is now making a come back in this big US Pale Ale, showcasing all its complexity. Ruby Grapefruit, Citrus, Earthy and spicy flavours are what you should expect of this light copper coloured Pale Ale.
The simple malt bill focuses on a robust caramel malt backbone to support and balance the intensity of the hops.
The Comet hops shows outstanding citrus flavours backed by complex wild notes of spice and earthiness. With a touch of Centennial, the Comet shines brightly in this twilight coloured Pale Ale.
