Craft Beer Adventure: Unveiling the Sasquatch Hop's Unique Flavors

Have you ever wondered what Sasquatch hops might taste like? Well, wonder no more! The YouTube channel Brew Dudes has conducted a SMASH (Single Malt and Single Hop) beer experiment using Sasquatch hops, and the results are fascinating. Sasquatch hops are a wild hop variety that was discovered in the mountain region of British Columbia, Canada. They are grown exclusively by Yakima Valley's sister company, Hops Connect, at two farms. According to the brewers, Sasquatch hops have a unique flavor profile that includes floral, citrus, green grassy, cream, caramel, and grassy notes. The Brew Dudes were impressed by the aroma of the Sasquatch hops, which they described as having hints of apple blossom, orange cream, hay, and earthy tones. They also noted that the hops had an alpha acid range of 7-8%, but the packet they used came in at 6.2%. When it came to the taste, the Brew Dudes found the Sasquatch hops to be light and not overwhelming. They picked up on creamy and subtle citrus notes, which they described as a whisper that was toying with their neurons. They also noted that the hops had a distinct Cheerios-like quality, which they attributed to the malt flavor. The Brew Dudes suggested that Sasquatch hops could work well in a Belgian wit yeast beer or an American wit beer, which they jokingly referred to as a "Canadian wit beer." They also mentioned that the hops could be used in a vanilla porter, which would create an interesting balance between the hops and the roasted malt. Overall, the Brew Dudes were impressed by the Sasquatch hops and enjoyed the unique flavor profile they brought to the beer.
