Commercial Description:
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there's a spicy, fruity hop finish. Lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor, the HopPhish is then keg conditioned for extra character. The beer features a combination of 4 malts plus a percent or two of wheat for an extra creamy head. The HopPhish also uses five hop varieties and has also been dry-hopped for three weeks with Mt. Hood and Ahtanum leaf hops. Total tank time has been five weeks, not counting keg conditioning time.

Bottle courtesy of funknmilla. Thanks! Pours copper with a nice rocky white head. Smells of citrus, spice, dry malt, some earthy hints. Tastes citrussy and dry with some nice doughy hints. Very enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Pours orange/copper color with nice white head. Hop aroma is moderate with floral and pine notes. This is a lighter IPA in terms of bitterness, but it does have strong hop flavors mostly pine. Finishes fairly dry. A nice IPA.

Bottle courtesy of Juart. Probably a little bit longer than I should let an IPA sit in my basement, but it poured with a huge amount of carbonation. 3 finger cream colored frothy head. Good retention and a ton of lacing. A golden amber color with a slight chill haze. The aroma has a lot of sweet sticky citrus hop, but also a creamy caramel smell. Almost like a caramel sundae. The flavor doesn’t have as much of the bright hops as I expected. Very grassy and earthy with a little bit of floral note. A bit of a metallic flavor, but that might be from the age of the bottle. A decent brown sugar sweetness to it. The finish on it is surprisingly dry. It has a nice warming alcohol feeling left in the mouth to accompany the bitterness. Not anything great, but pretty solid.

Mostly clear, deep golden with a thick and fizzy white head. Spicy citrus and hay with a distinct malt back in the nose. Mild (for an IPA) bitterness, and understated malt flavor -- I expected more after the aromas. Still, nice sweet malt with touches of honey and glaze under some woodsy-tang hops. Finishes long with a crisp, dry bitterness showing through.
