COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
HopTown IPA, our flagship beer, has a rich, malty character, an alcohol content of 6.2% and a generous helping of hops (almost two pounds per barrel!). We use Galena hops for bittering and Cascade and Centennial hops for the finish and for dry hopping.

OhioDad (2491) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - OCT 12, 2005
22oz bomber via trade with alanC - Thanks Alan! - Pours a deep amber color with a beautiful offwhite head that stays well and laces beautifully. Aroma is pure hops.. Grapefruit and pine, a bit of malt makes it’s way through but it is mostly hop aroma over this one. Flavor is nice sweet caramel malt blended very well with the grapefruit c-hop flavor. A nice somewhat dry bitter finish ends each sip. Pretty nice IPA

zug4abby (287) - Capistrano Beach, California, USA - OCT 4, 2005
pours a golden orange color with a decent head and very little lacing. The aroma is fairly weak with mild hints of citrus and hops. The flavor is pretty much the same, with not a whole lot to it. Good tasting beer, but doesn’t pack any sort of punch at all... I want more hops in this beer!

biz82 (1328) - austin, Texas, USA - SEP 24, 2005
Hazy amber, 3/4" loose head. Citrus caramel. I also get a hint of fish(?). Thin in body. Somewhat rough bitterness. Decent pine and grapefruit hop flavors. The finish is a little dirty.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - SEP 18, 2005
(nitro, Barclays) Off-white head atop clear golden body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, pine. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, pineapple. Creamy light-medium body with resin, no carbonation. Not sure I have had an IPA on nitro before, and I cannot say this experience makes me feel that I have been missing something.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 23, 2005
Bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a dark amber color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas and tastes of grapefruit, pine and light caramel. Medium bitter with a lightly sweet balance to it. Enjoyable.

egajdzis (4549) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 22, 2005
Pourede a hazy, reddish amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of resiny pine, citrus malt, tons of C hops. Light sweetness balanced by bitter grapefruit... citrus hops, and light alcohol with a bitter dry finish. Real decent IPA here.

Bitter hoppyness with a distinct roasty flavor and pine notes. I had it from the tap, there was little to no head. Nutty amber color.
