Rose dry hops in 1896

Unlike most brewers, Rose did bother to note down the dry hopping in their records. Though not always. In the case of the IPA, I’m sure they’ve just forgotten to write it down. Which is pretty annoying.

The preference for the flavour of German hops is clear in the choice of dry hops. Every beer, apart from the Stout, contains some Hallertau. While American hops appear in only the Stout. A style where delicate hop flavour would have to compete with a stack of roast.
