COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
On a beautiful summer night in July while peaceful Danes rocked at Roskilde Festival and sipped wine in their picturesque summer retreats, an apocalyptic tidal surge flooded the famous Ølbutikken in Copenhagen and drowned thousands of precious beer – Hop Flood is a bitter tribute to the heroic bottles that didn’t make it.

laiti (4016) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 16, 2012
50 cl bottle, BBE 2015
Aroma is strong on hops with gooseberry bush, some fruits, hints of raspberries and vanilla. Flavour is really hoppy with gooseberry bush, some fruits and hints of slightly sour raspberries. Probably the most hoppy Amber Ale I’ve had, much more close to an IPA. Adding the yeast makes this more round, stale and slightly more sweet – don’t do it.

500ml bottle from Bierkompass

Best before 2015 - Pours dark reddish brown with a massive foamy head. Lovely aroma of fresh exotic fruits, floral hops and caramel. Taste of fresh fruity hops, exotic fruits, caramel and malts. Finish is tangy and bitter with some caramel notes. Tasty and well balanced.

lusikka (4124) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 13, 2012
500 ml bottle. BBE 2015.
Pours a dark amber colour with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Good retention. Aroma of very, very strong floral hops, grass and some caramel. Strong flavour of bitter floral hops, grass, caramel, peach and grapefruit. Full bodied, very rich mouthfeel with a rich, bitter and tangy finish. Huge amount of bitterness and all in a good balance. A true hop bomb!

michael-pollack (4962) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 3, 2012
500ml Bottle: Aroma of malt, milk chocolate, butter-cream, grassy hops, toffee, and slight pine. Not much hops in the aroma. Poured deep copper/brown in color with a large, creamy, loose, rocky, then later dense, tan/brown head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of malt, chocolate, toffee, and some hops. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malt, toffee, hop finish. Where are all the hops? How can this be called Hop Flood? Still not a bad beer.
