SALT LAKE CITY, UT (March 2011) - Introducing the newest addition to Uinta Brewing Company's lineup, Dubhe (pronounced Doo-bee),?an Imperial Black IPA.
?
Dubhe was named after Utah's Centennial Star, a star classified as a Red Giant. Dubhe, the star, appears?orange in color,?and is found at the top end of the big dipper's spoon. The name "Dubhe" continues Uinta's tradition of celebrating the great state of Utah, however, "Dubhe" is a fitting name for more than that reason: this beer is as black as the night sky and is brewed with an astronomical amount of hops.
??
Dubhe is comprised of five hop varieties, a hop profile bold enough to shine through the roasted, dark malt character of this beer. A citrusy hop aroma, achieved by dry hopping with a proprietary blend of extreme Northwest hops, balanced with notes of mild dark chocolate and a hint of sweet licorice. Smooth from start to finish, Dubhe's layered flavor profile emerges with rich and rounded toasted malt flavors, and is followed by a lively hop bitterness. At over 5 pounds of hops per barrel, Dubhe is the most hop-laden beer Uinta has ever produced.
This shinning new addition is brewed with hemp seed (A play on the name, perhaps?), and has a far-out ABV of 9.2%.?
