COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
As the most passionate of you know, there is a serious worldwide hop shortage. A major warehouse fire and several climatic catastrophies have created the perfect storm that means a dearth of hops. We aren't sitting still, though. Some of your favorite ales may not be brewed as often as they have in the past, but we endevour to come up with new treasures, using whatever we can get our hands on. Our first effort is an IPA. We call it Hop Envy because we think you'll like this offering so much, those breweries without our hops might get a little envious. Hop shortage? There's no shortage of hops here!

Sample at the Alehouse. Pours a cloudy copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus hops and cranberry. Very citrusy flavor of orange and grapefruit with some cranberry. Not much malt balance at all, but the fruit sort of balances the hop bitterness. Good stuff.

Tap at Barley’s. Cloudy orange in appearance with a one finger beige head, beautiful lacing. Nice hop bite with a citrus finish, very well balanced. Well worth checking out in you’re in Columbus - and their food is fantastic.

Birdiebeagle (958) - Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 25, 2009
Draft @ Barleys Pours an hazy yellow with orange hints. Had a diminshing white head which laced well. Has a good citrus pine aroma. Has good carbination and is refreshing. Crisp but not too bitter. Good hoppy flavors leads to a nice finish. Has a medium body. This was a tasty beer. It has an oily texture. I enjoyed the mouthfeel. I will have more of these before I leave Columbus.

Rogueone (506) - I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA - OCT 24, 2008
Tap @ Alehouse: Cloudy orange pour with a sticky white head. Aroma is definitely a blast of citrus hop. Flavor is a nicely spicy hops with a bitterness that lingers on the palate. Malts coat the tongue in the middle of the taste, and then bitterness rushes in to round out the flavor on the back end. One of their better IPAs.

UPDATED: SEP 19, 2008 Had this on tap at the Columbus Microbrewery Festival. This was my favorite IPA at the event and I tried them all. You could taste a nice citrus in addition to all the hops. I will have to make sure to stop in to Barleys and have this one again.

On tap at Columbus Microbrew Festival tonight. Citrus nose. Piney resinous hops upfront on the flavor with a grapefruit finish. Very solid but not much malt character though. Hop delight.

On tap. Nectariny orange/yellow color; somewhat sticky head. Aroma: grapefruit, pine. Flavor: Citrus, grapefruit, dry, actually somewhat grainy. Not too heavy or spritzy or bitter. What’s this? Somebody actually makes a balanced and tasty IPA without throwing in a crapload of hops? In Ohio? Recommended, especially with the "junkyard (hot)dog".
