San Diego Hopnotized IPA

On draft at O’Briens wet hop festival - their board had it listed as "Hopnosis". Moastly clear golden amber color with a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, lots of butterscotch and brown sugar in the aroma, along with floral hops. Flavor is much more hoppy than the aroma might indicate, though a bit of the gentle toffee malt sweetness is present, followed quickly by a huge rush of brash lemon, pine and herbal hops. Medium body and moderate carbonation round out this interesting new beer from SDBC. Yay Dean!

Tap, SDBC. Pours a medium golden color. Aroma is hoppy with a bit of sweet caramel. Bitter piney hop flavor. A little bit of an atrificial sweetness flavor. Somewhat bitter finish. The caramel/butterscotch thing going on kind of brings the beer down a bit. Not bad though.
