Commercial Description:
In keeping with the Illinois senator’s unifying theme, the "Hop Obama" is an indefinable ale that doesn’t adhere to traditional style guidelines. The 5.2% ABV creation contains five different kinds of European crystal malt and three different kinds of Pacific Northwest Hops. Combined with a Scottish yeast strain for fermentation, the result is a highly drinkable beer with a big malt background and an "Obama" of hops that imparts floral and citrus notes with just a hint of spiciness.

Tap at Barcade: Hazy, deep orange pour with a creamy off-white head. Earthy hop aroma. Some citrus qualities come through along with caramel and a biscuit character. Slightly fizzy feel. Flavor is a twiggy/earthy hop character along with candied citrus fruits. Has a biscuity back and a long earthy/spicy hoppy finish. A satisfying and earthy Pale Ale.

Tap @ The Cherry Tree in one of those funky new Sam Adams glasses. Orange copper with lasting head and lace. Toasted caramel and hop aroma. Very toasted medium caramel, caramelized sweetness, mild fruit and nice well-balanced hoppy bitterness. Medium body and carbo. A nice sessionable hoppy beer.

A bit of a gimick beer, pretty well done though. Reletively thick body with a light aroma. Hopy, full palate. Some Sweetness, malt. Mild and relativly average on all fronts. High drinkablilty.

Interesting combination of ingredients in this one, but somehow it works. Nice citrus and grassy hop flavors. Good residual malt sweetness and well balanced.

On tap at the Sixpoint tasting at Dave’s Bellport Beer and Soda. Pours a hazy gold that is a shade darker than the Bagali Tiger I had just before, with a linen white head. Pleasant aroma of pine and malt. The flavor is malt up front followed by pine and some grapefruit bitterness. The bitterness wanes as the beer finishes with a touch of dryness.

Draft: cloudy orange, hoppy aroma, dry hoppy ale with plenty of malt presence, not bad

(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of florals/herbs, citrus, and biscuit. Flavor of hops (pine, resin, herbs, grass) and caramel malt with a bitter finish.
