Love a juicy New England-style IPA? Then this is the perfect pack for you.

Pick and choose the hops and proportions your palate dictates and you’re guaranteed to brew up an amazing IPA, custom designed by you.
Your Hops Sampler Pack includes:
4 oz Citra Hops - Tropical fruit and strong citrus make this relatively new American hop variety a great flavor and aroma addition to your brew. High alpha and strong tropical fruit aromas and flavors (think mango, papaya, and pineapple).
3 oz Mosaic Hops - Offering an incredible combo of floral, fruity and earthy notes, Mosaic hops complement a wide variety of flavors. Everything from citrus, pine, earth, herbal, mint, bubblegum, blueberry, lime peel, black pepper. This chameleon hop variety pairs perfectly with Citra and Galaxy hops.
3 oz Galaxy Hops - This in-demand Aussie hop variety showcases fresh flavors of gentle citrus and passion fruit, making it a great choice for IPAs with a juicy tropical twist. Comparable to Citra, but with a bit more grassy flavor. Due to the high cohumulone content of this hop, it works best as a late addition or dry hop.
3 oz El Dorado Hops - This spectacular, new dual-purpose hop brings both firm, balanced bittering properties, as well as a unique, intensely fruity flavor and aroma. Bright, tropical flavors of pineapple and mango dance with aromas of pear, watermelon, stone fruit and candy. A true feast for the palate.
3 oz Amarillo® Hops - A favorite of craft brewers, Amarillo® hops are often described as a turbocharged version of Cascade, but with a distinctly different orange-forward character. It’s an excellent flavor/aroma hop for American Ales, with enticing notes of floral, tropical and spice, alongside loads of orange/lemon/grapefruit citrus thanks to its sky-high Myrcene oil content. Amarillo® can be hard to come by. One taste and you’ll understand the demand!
