I've spent quite a lot of time on hop farms during harvest in Colorado and Idaho and one of the best things about the farms is the massive quantities of perfectly ripe hops that permeate the air everywhere. I wanted this beer to taste like jumping into a bottomless pile of hops. I used six different hop varieties to create the complex hop flavor in the beer. The result is a balanced and powerful assertion of American super hops Zeus, Nugget, Chinook, and Citra, and wonderful aromatics of Cascade, and Mt. Hood. The peak of Sultan looms high above Silverton at 13,368. The hop character in this beer and just like the peak of Sultan, this beer commands some respect.
