Commercial Description:
We craft this much like a sculptor who uses only a hammer and chisel to shape stone into a masterpiece. Hoppe is spawned of these few essentials: barley, wheat, hops, yeast and water. This limited palette is an exercise in minimalism, with refined elements which are deliberately selected. This simple combination creates a golden shimmering brew infused with delicate aromas. The artful nature of this beer is exposed with the first taste. As the malt and hops created a composition of flavors, and elegant finish leaves an impression that your tastes will not soon forget. Don't be deceived by th innocence of Hoppe. Please enjoy in moderation.

Nice brew. Golden amber in color with a very thin white foam on top. Smell is piney citrus and a little alcohol. Still you can’t tell this has 8% so be careful with it.

22 oz bottle from brewery. Pours a light golden with a creamy white head that stays. Aromas of amarillo hops that is of a citrus nature and almost fruity, with a hint of wheat. The aromas carry over well to the flavors here with the amarillo coming through in its citrus nature with a little pine note and ends bitter sweet bearing a touch of wheat. Good.

Bottle at Tuulensuu, Tampere - thanks, Pat! Mid-gold beer with a chamomile aroma. American hop taste (not Cascade). Mild hops in the aftertaste. Chamomile stands out for me in the taste also, accompanied by light malts, for a fairly soft taste. Finish is slightly grassy hops mainly. Not a ’wow’ but refreshing. Unusually, Phil did not share this.

Golden with a small white head, leaving a little lacing. Aroma of caramel, orange, peach and grass. Sweetish caramel flavour with a touch of orange. Hoppy finish and lasting bitterness.

Bière blonde dorée. Parfum de houblon vert et floral. Goût sucré avec une longue finale amère. Le taux d’alcool est bien enrobée. Bonne bière.

Bottle split with Pwn3d and DepAndy. Pours a slightly hazy orange. Aroma is very innocent, like a child learning to walk. Taste is soft, soft, and cloudy at first. Finishes with some controlled, balanced hop flavor.
