COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In late summer, the grassy banks of the Madison River are jumping with grasshoppers. At Madison River Brewing Company we are always jumping at the chance to make another batch of Hopper Pale Ale. Four different barley malts lend a rich amber color and create a backdrop to showcase the distinctive citrus-like flavor and floral aroma of hops harvested in the Pacific Northwest. Get Hooked on Hopper Pale Ale!

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear copper with a half inch light tan head that lasts. Good carbonation. Taste is of hops, malt, resin, pine, grapefruit, smoke and caramel. Has a hoppy and pine aroma. Has a decent body that finishes dry and bitter. A solid IPA that is refreshing and drinkable. Worth picking up again.

jrodooo5 (491) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Not bad. True to it’s description, it hits hard with hop bitterness upfront and finishes with a nice malty smoothness. A decent looking rustic orange pour with a white head that fades into spotty lacing. It’s an ok drinkable beer - nothing special going on here.

Bottle - kind of a cloudy light rusted color with a small head. Nice combination of malts and hops making it a good sipping beer. Not spectacular but not bad either.
