his is a collaboration brew between Hope Beer Dublin and Pittsburgh's Tortured Souls Brewing. crafted to celebrate the Pittsburgh vs. Minnesota American Football matchup at Croke Park. This American Pale Ale is brewed with German hops and grains in tribute to Pittsburgh's rich European immigrant heritage.
Weyermann Pilsner malt provides a very clean. light coloured base beer, with biscuit and bread flavours, and a little malt sweetness. Modern German hops are used late in the boil and in the whirlpool to give some fruity and tropical flavours. These are:
Hallertau Blanc: known for pineapple, gooseberry, white grape, fresh lemongrass, and passion fruit flavours and aromas.
Solero: A new hop variety that is known for flavours of tropical and passion fruits along with mango.
Renegade is fermented with a Kolsch style yeast, which further accentuates the fruity flavours of the hops. At a healthy 6% ABV. the body and alcohol flavour should be fairly robust though, and will complement the medium to high hop bitterness
