Single malt, single hop...based on the speed you have to produce, likely Pale or Marris Otter (light Munich could be interesting), a fast ferment, hard flock yeast like S-04, and a dual purpose hop like Centennial. Get a couple oz of leaf hop to keg hop it for aroma.
Thanks Mike. I've actually been wanting to do a Nectaron smash for a while, but couldn't bring myself to buy any more new hops with $200 or so worth in the freezer already (yeah, I know, I have a problem).
That being said, your suggestion inspired me to do a simple (but non-single malt/hop) IPA using a few different remaining small quantities of pale malts in my inventory, no crystal/caramel, and with basically only two hops. Road American IPA.
I'll also plan on bringing some fresh pawpaws again for people to sample as long as they're ready to pick by then.
