Scratch #544 IPA showcases a brand-new hop variety and highlights our long-standing collaboration with the Hop Quality Group. Cultivated by the USDA, Thora hops were shaped by the Group – where Tröegs is one of about 50 breweries across the country evaluating experimental hops. The potent variety boasts intense notes of overripe tropical fruit, guava and passionfruit with dank, resinous undertones – and it’s the exclusive hop in #544!
