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!

Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty, grain, and some citrus hops. Flavor is grainy, roasty, caramel, and a bitter earthy finish.

Bottle. Pours clear bright copper with a fading off-white head that leaves a little lace. Soft caramel citrus nose. Light body, medium carbonation. Grainy caramel taste with a dry pine and earth finish. Not a bad APA, and actually a pretty bold statement from a part of the country that is slow to discover microbrews.

An amber appearance on this one. The aroma contains some dark fruits, caramel, and grapefruit. The flavor is slightly bitter but also has a decent amount of malt in it. Some grapefruit and lemons show through. Overall an ok one diminesional session beer.

Bright amber gold, moderate white head. Mostly fruity, slightly resionous hop aroma with underlying caramel malts. Same on the palate, with an apricot fruitiness to the hop character. Very drinkable.

Bottle thanks to kyzr: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh piny hops and some mild pale maltiness. Body starts with decent fullness and light malty sweetness with a crisp bittersweet hoppy balance toward a crisp finish. A pretty decent APA.
