Appalachian Major Hops

on tap-pours a thin light tan head and copper color. Aroma is very mild citrus/earthy hops, medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt-nutty/peat, secondary dry/earthy/metallic hops. Same as an English Nut Brown. OK carbonation. Occasional.

Piint at the Harrisburg brewery, Muddy, bready brown colored body with some faint red hues as well, topped by a thin, tan, disorganized head. First impressions of the nose are sweet caramel malts, toasted bread, and cherry scented hops, but with some bakers yeast and wheat bread dough. Thin on the tongue, sweet, with a light bitterness, mostly just more of the caramel and cherry flavors that are fairly common in the so-called American strong ale. Hoppy for sure, but not grassy. Has a semi-gritty texture of soggy bread and grains, finishing pasty and dry, soggy and sour. Overall it’s very loose and disorganized, at tiumes resembling a strong amber ale, other times a DIPA that went wrong somewhere. They call it major hops but the hops are more minor, to be honest.

Had this on tap at their brew pub in Gettysburg. It’s pretty good and a little hoppier than their Hoppy Trails. Would definately recommend to an IPA lover

ABC fest 06. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a htin off white head and some lace. Aroma is citrus and piney hops but balanced out with a lot of chewy thick sweet caramel malts. Flavor is moslty sweet with some fruits, toffee, caramel, citrus, orange, and some pine- with a good clean bitterness in the end. Fairly smooth and easy to drink. Due to the high hop levels I would consider this to be more of an american strong ale, rather than an old ale.

not a bad brew, but i was expecting something really hoppy. It’s not much of a departure from ABC’s IPA, mixes hops with a hint of candy sweetness.
