New Glarus Hop Hearty Ale

Pours amber with little head. Hops and sweet malts in the nose. Tastes of hops, citrus, and caramel. Kind of odd with the caramel, but in a good way. Finished dry and bittersweet. Different but good.

Bottle trade from shigadeyo. Poured a hazy copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus and fruit aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Solid bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

Bottle, thanks to after4ever. Pours a hazy copper with a lacy off-white head. Medium body. Sweet caramel, citrus, peach nose. The taste echoes these notes. Lingering finish.

Bottle. Poured a beautiful dark amber with a thick off-white head, nice lacing. Floral cascade hops dominate the aroma with their sweetness. A slap of full sweet hops up front with a balanced bitterness. Fairly sweet tasting all around. Great creamy full body, bitterness lingers.

12-oz. Thanks, Pantanap! Pours dark cloudy with loose sudsy head. Light strings of lace. Big peach and caramel nose. Watery body. Peachy, tangy, caramelly mid-palate. Sour acidic hop finish.

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours a clear copper with nice tan head. Big aroma with grapefruit hops and an even flow of sweet caramelized maltiness. Grapefruit hops hit in the flavor first followed by roasty malts and caramel malts. There’s a mild toffee note that draws toward butterscotch. Nice mix of malts and hops.

Nice IPA. Solid body, malt has presence. Spicy hops, citrus. Clean finish. A little peppery on the hops, but very nice balance overall. Tasty.

Bottle. Pours very hazy amber with almost no head. Aroma of citrus, pepper and earthy malt. Rich hop taste with a big malt background, taste like oats after the hops up front. Nice and earthy aftertaste. Interesting take on the IPA, I’m used to the west coast hop bombs, this is nice and balanced. Good stuff.
