Commercial Description:
Our latest Bond Street Series brew, Hop Henge, got bumped up to Imperial status this year. With a few more IBU’s than last year’s version, this IPA has a monumental amount of hops coming in just under the century mark for IBU’s. Two and one half pounds of Centennial, Cascade, and Northern Brewer hops are added, per beer barrel, and another half pound is used in the dry hopping process giving Hop Henge a whopping 95 IBU rate. A hearty malt bill, consisting of Crystal, Pale and Carastan malts, creates a biscuity note while building a dense base supporting the mammoth hop presence.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing light orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel and medium notes of over ripe fruits and hops. The flavor has strong notes of over ripe fruits as well as medium notes of caramel, hops, grass, and alcohol, leading to a very bitter finish. Thanks Papso for sharing.

Hazy amber color, small head with a nice lace. Very nice hoopy aroma, with a Parmesan and sweaty touch. Smooth mouthfeel, malty flavor but not too strong, with powerful hopping, but as well it’s not too aromatic. Good and pleasant.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Slightly hazy deep golden with an off-white, lacing head. Fruity, citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel and fruits. Strange phenollic and chemical. Sweet alcoholic finish rather than bitter. Not too impressed. 220909

A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Dark amber with a thin white head. A really good U.S. IPA with a big fruity bitter finish. Excellent bitterness all round. Simple but great.
