COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
HopGasm is Brewmaster Kevin McNerney’s innaugural release at 5 Seasons. HopGasm is a west coast India Pale Ale, bold in every sense. It invites you with a nose far more intruiging than most IPAs. We use 5 different hops, including Simcoe and Amarillo, which gives an incredibly rich bouquet and a pleasurable mouthfeel. It’s a bit over 7% ABV, but a solid malt backbone and a sumptuous aftertaste will make you want multiple HopGasms.

markwise (2695) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - JAN 31, 2012
On draft at Prado location. Pours a lovely hazy unfiltered brown-orange with a white head. Nose is some citrus and big pine supported by a nice malt backbone. Flavor is similar with the malt backbone not disappointing and big pine notes with eruptions of citrus. Finishes with lingering pine. Medium to full in body, and a solid unfiltered IPA.

Thick cloudy pour. Hop aroma of fruitloops, citrus peal, and oranges. Lots of fresh hop taste. Mixed citrus and grapefruit explode on top of a lighly Malty grain base. A bit thin at the finish. Pretty nice and as a last not very hoppy but in no way abrasive.

On draft. Here is the reason for my visit and it was great! Amber pour, hoppy scent. Taste of citrus and hops, earthy.

PotjeBier (425) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - JUL 10, 2010
On tap @ Prado location. Smells like a real hop bomb: Resiny, flowery, piney hops. Taste is relatively mild, with even some malty sweetness, but quite dry. Finishes with a mild bitterness, with all the aroma still in place. Very good and very different from your average Westcoast IPA. Rated 01/26/09

Clear beautiful deep red with a fizzy off white head. Earthy citrus and skunk hops aroma with a resiny brassy citrus taste a good bitterness and caramel to the finish.
