Hopfenstark Postcolonial IPA

Brewed by Hopfenstark
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
L’Assomption, Canada

On tap at Capones. Poured a deeper and hazy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, citrus, and some earthiness. Tastes of the same.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of Earth and hops. I get none of the fruit or citrus that others find in the nose. Poured amber/brown in color with a medium-sized, off-white, dense head that lasted throughout . A great head. Cloudy. Excellent lacing. Flavor is medium bitter. Tastes of hops, Earth, and light malts. Medium body. Soft to average carbonation. Average texture. Light to medium bitter hop and Earth finish.

From cask at Bar Volo. Cloudy ambar colour sith slight white head. Noticeable citrus and hoppy aroma. Hoppy bitter, sweet malt, and yeasty bread flavour. Balanced aftertaste

bottle courtesy of Fred82. Aroma is all hop. Really nice aroma with a little floral as well. Pours a cloudy orange amber colour with a generous white head. Body is well carbonated and somewhat complex. Flavour is somewhat floral with a great hop bitterness in the aftertaste. I’m really liking this brewery. Need Fred to get me some more!

Had this one a while ago sweet citrus nose, orange with decent white foam. flavor is citrus with some good malt to balance not bad

Bottle: Poured a hazy amber-orange color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cat pea and dry hops which is somewhat reminiscent of Orval. Taste is also a strange mix between some dry European style hops with some funky Orvalesque notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Bottle had kind of aged and developed an Orval like infection which was very interesting though necessarily voluntary.

From cask at Vices et Versa. Hazy amber-orange with a small but sticky white head. Beautiful citrus (grapefruit, orange) and pine hoppy aroma. Flavour maintains the hop presence, with the addition of caramel and biscuit from the malt. Carbonation is about what you’d expect from a cask. Very, very solid.

Mmmm this is a good IPA. Hazy amber color with a tan head this beer has drink me all over it. The nose is nice and hoppy a little grassy hops with a solid malt aroma in the backround. The mouthfeel is full and almost oily. Taste is rich malt and good bitterness but not dry.
