Commercial Description:
Eleven is made with a single variety of hops, Phoenix, from the UK. Phoenix was developed at Wye College to be a high alpha acid (bitterness) hops with a British flavor profile. Phoenix is also low in cohumulone and high in aromatic oils, so you can throw a ton of ’em in and the beer will stay smooth and aromatic. This beer has 109 IBUs in it! The taste profile is incredibly balanced and dangerously drinkable for an 11.7% brew. But don’t look for that grapefruity-piny taste you get from US hops (not that there’s anything wrong with that), these buds are fruity and earthy with an almost berry-like aroma, to give this beer a unique taste among big IPAs. Bitterness we got! And malt to back it up, with the result being a very intriguing beer you’ll just want to sip all night thanks to Phoenix hops. Cheers!

An orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and very grassy, but also with a spicy note, that reminds me of Belgian beers. The flavor is very powerful, and very hoppy - like a strong hop soup, with a slight touch of oranges, and with a very bitter end. Good for hopheads.

Cloudy beige. Yeasty nose with hints of perfume. Bitter, yeasty with lots of hop. Very bitter finish with some honeyish notes. Interesting hop...wish I had more time to get to know this brew as its always tough to fully appreciate a new hop on the first go.
