Collaboration with Drop Project. Released to the brewing world in the late 1990s, admiral is a relative newcomer as far as British hops go, and while it’s not a household name, it might not be unfamiliar to some modern drinkers, having been used in English wine producer chapel down’s now-retired beer range, and even by us in the early days of Northern Monk. Back then we were impressed by the resinous orange aromas it possesses, and its assertive, resinous bettering qualities made it a good domestic equivalent of classic West Coast US hops such as Cascade, Chinook, or Centennial. Here, we’ve teamed it up with two other hops known for their signature orangey vibes; Amarillo, plus the pithy breakfast juice character of Idaho 7 for a DDH IPA beaming with citrussy sunshine.
