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.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with líght notes of rotten fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and a slight alcohol burn. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22oz bottle. Nice copper color with a 1 inch white head. Hoppy aroma with a nice malt balance. Hoppy flavor with a malty back, like a well made IIPA. In fact, not quite sure what makes this an imperial pale instead of an IIPA, but hell, it tastes good.

Hazy amber, large off-white head with good retention, lots of lace. Aromas of citric hops and caramel. Flavor starts off with intense grapefruit hops, becoming sweeter with malts in the middle, some cream soda and caramel here, before a hops-bitter end. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours a clear amber with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops with pale malt in the background. Taste is the same as aroma but more prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Maybe a hint of fresh bread. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of citrus, hops, some slight bitterness. Generally medium body with a sweet and hoppy finish.
