Commercial Description:
This Ale is brewed with the best of Old and New World hops. Then we infuse the aging tanks with a dry hop addition of Cascade and East Kent Goldings to bring home the hops! Expect this Ale to pour a glass brimming with rich caramel flavors along with an intense hop aroma

My glass fills with gentle effervescence and a ghost of a haze within a pure copper body. A creamy head holds as a small cap. Initial aroma was of opening a jar of Lipton® sweetened iced tea with lemon, replete with dustiness. Very lemony and the hops are fresh, green and abundant. Flavor holds a tart bitterness, above all else, balanced with a malt backbone that adds some sweetness without standing in the way of this beer’s hoppy intent. "Wet" palate with light spice in the finish.

I tallied my numbers to total a "4.1" and felt that this was an excellent, hoppy IPA. I guessed that my hop-headed brethren <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=14352>Cornfield and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=18266> RAYBOY01 would give it a 4.3 and 3.9 respectively. These are guys that like their beer as spicy as their food. They laugh in the face of IBU’s and think that Jabañero peppers could stand a bit more heat. I was spot-on for RAYBOY’s total, but I overshot the mark on Cornfield by 0.7. Curious.

Golden orange pour with a small diminishing head. No strong aroma, probably the glass again. Only hops. Slightly metallic flavor, much more bitter finish than expected. Good, but not the hops taste I enjoy from Three Floyds.

Not the sharp, bitter, dry hop flavor that I prefer, but more of the floral, aromatic, slightly sweet hop flavor that most people prefer. Closer to an Alpha King than a Sierra Nevada or Titan, Hop Hearty Ale will appeal to lovers of the former rather than the latter. A very smooth pale ale, but not one that I would buy again.

This beer says hello with the hearty fragrance of roasted hops and the background aroma of clove. It is a wet cinnamon color with a decent sized head to its credit. This beer flows over the tongue in a thin manner. It slowly grabs the tongue with a taste of hops and caramel then fades back to hoppy as it is swallowed.

This was my favorite back when I lived in Wisconsin. Very tasty. I wish we were able to get it out here in Oregon. Oh how I miss it.

Floral hoppiness really hits you in aroma and flavor! Definitely bitter, but doesn’t bite. This is one for all hopheads to enjoy.
