I will be utilizing the YVH hop box hop hash that I received for this one. Also, I'm going with a parti-gyle approach here, so this will be my strong beer while the Ubiquitous Table Ale will be my small beer. Grains: Split between NW pale ale and Golden Promise for base malt, enough Carastan 35 to get the proper color, 5% carapils for head retention since I'm mashing on the low end. Hops: I will go for a single hop approach utilizing the 007 hop hash. Yeast: Wyeast 1056 since I already have it Water profile is Amber Dry with enhanced sodium to 60ppm

Notes:

Pours and color are the same. Aroma is a dank hoppiness along with pineapple. Flavor is dank hops that has some herbal qualities to it and then a slight bitterness that has some very subtle malty sweetness to it. The aroma is much better but the actual flavor is just too dense in terms of hops. The body and carbonation are the same. So, I like this beer more than before as the toffee flavor is gone, which makes me want to bump it up a star, but I just don't think it's a 4 star beer. This is really a 3.5 star beer, slightly better than average. I wouldn't use the hop hash again but it was fun to try it.

Notes:

Pours medium orange, not quite amber with 2.5 fingers of rocky foam that dissipates slowly. Aroma is dank hoppiness directly from the hop hash, slightly fruity but herbal and earthy as well. Taste is an exaggeration of the aroma, very dank hoppiness with pine and herbal dominance followed by a not too potent bitterness. There's almost a toffee flavor to it as well, but I feel that it's just because if the hop hash concentration. Body is medium in density yet soft, slight nucleation sharpness. The hop flavor is okay, just too dense basically. The balance isn't quite right as it needs more malt. The hop hash would be good for a barleywine, but this is too light to carry the hop hash.
