With a nod to the past, this nicely balanced, true ale is brewed using traditional brewing methods for a unique flavor profile. The password to our best kept secret is found inside the bottle.

Malty and just a little too sweet. Not much hop character. A decent beer for everyday drinking.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is sweet with a hint of bitterness, of malt, honey, and citrus hops. Taste is sweet and crisp, of malt, candied citrus, hops, and lots of honey. Lingering light sweetness. Not bad.

Elwood (2552) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - JUN 17, 2013
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from the Safeway in Leesburg. It pours a nice amber color with a small white head. The nose is light with a touch of bread and caramel. The flavor is on the sweet side with some malt, bread, and honey notes. Not really anything in the way of balancing bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a sweet finish. Not remarkable in any way.

Very pleasant and approachable beer, well balanced and not too bitter. With a name like"Hop House" I was expecting big, bold hops and instead found it quite timid in the hops department. Not that it’s a bad thing.

daknole (7211) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - OCT 30, 2009
Clear copper pour. White head. Sweet bready aroma. Flavor is very sweet. Caramel malt, some yeast and honey. Not too bad. A tad too sweet though.

Aurelius (3457) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - NOV 16, 2011
Clear marzen color, thin white head, OK label, twistoff longneck. Slightly sweet, lightly toasted, syrupy aroma. Tastes like a Vienna or a Marzen. Sweetish, woody, a little perfumy, a little toasty. Slight sour astringency on a medium body. Gets a little fizzy sometimes. Cane syrup flavors on the lips. Better than I expected, not great. ABC Liquors, Kerry Forest Parkway.

thedm (4783) - Fort Wayne, USA - SEP 12, 2009
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent typically carbonated golden brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was malty and mild hop. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt hops and orange peel. An OK brew just nothing special and better than their pale ale by far.

BREWMUSKCLES (2017) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 21, 2010
springy, chalky, vine like and sweet. bitter hemp vine linger to the finish. a 99 cent bottle at whole foods nyc. tangy indeed and demonstrative. something different and a bit interesting. light and soda like a 7 up but still flowery with hops. a re-rate as i don’t suppose to make too much from one 12 ounce bottle.
