omhper (10454), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 17, 2007 Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. Hazy golden. Aroma of peach and sulphur. Sweet and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. salty and dense with lots of aromatic hops and peach candy. Above medium bitterness. ABUSEDGOAT (1902), California, USA Dec 7, 2007 Draft: hazy amber, some lacing and retention. Aroma is rich Chinook hops. Very sweet and fruity, simply bursting. Flavor brings this, bittersweet with a medium body. Great success. jgb9348 (1825), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Nov 18, 2007 I sampled both the Cascade & Chinook versions of this (they were two separate beers on draught) at Toronado in San Francisco, California. They were about the same, so here’s the overall rating:
Copper coloured body with a perfect sized dense tan head. Aroma of nothing but hops - a good way to tell the difference between Chinook & Cascade is to have these side by side. Medium-bodied; Sharp pungent hoppiness in the mouth, coupled with a good malt backbone and more hoppiness to finish it out. Overall, a great sampling from these wet hopped beers - I really enjoyed the mouthful and the aroma of these. Nothing missing in my mind! I sampled both of these on draught from Toronado in SF on 27-October-2007. SDbruboy (1821), San Diego, California, USA Nov 10, 2007 On draft at O’Briens Wet Hop festival. Clear golden color with a creamy off white head and traces of lace. Nice floral and citrus hop aromas, toasty malts and spruce. Pleasant fruity flavors, toasty, citrus juice, with orange, crisp floral and herbal notes. Medium body, smooth and easy carbonation. Enjoyable. jazz88 (2205), San Francisco, California, USA Nov 15, 2006 Tap @ Toronado. Amber color with a white head. A wet green grass hoppy flavor. Relatively light but filled with hops (like sucking on a wet hop bud) but also not as bitter as I would have expected. Rating from notes.
