3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery as Humulus Lupulus. Hazy orange body, medium off-white head. Aroma reminded me of Bells Two-Hearted Ale, with plenty of leafy, strong pine and grapefruit hops notes. Soapy, citrusy, piney hops body backed by biscuity, bready malts. Fresh, potent, and crisp with good balance. A winner.

Tap @ the brewpub. Color is a thick, murky, dirty, golden. The head is thick and soapy and leaves a similar thick and soapy lacing. Cannot see through the beer but it looks dirty rather than pretty. Aroma, all hops: bitter and tropical fruits with an airy bitterness to it. In the flavor the bitterness is subdued by a thick maltiness. Fortunately, the maltiness isn’t a caramel sweetness (which I dislike) but just a thick unsweetened maltiness. Muffled fruit juice and tropical fruit hops emerge in the flavor as well. it is ok.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Humulus Lupulus came an amber/red color with some cloudiness to it with a one inch thick off-white head that left great lacing. Aroma is a strong mixture of citrus, pine and floral hops with a light caramel malt aroma in the tail of the inhalation. Hops hits you right in the mouth, first citrus then moving into a grassy/piney middle and ends with a somewhat sweet malt ending. The feeling of the beer is a bit watery at the end like its missing something in the body. Overall a great beer if your in the mood for something bitter and melds well with its malt flavor.
