Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. I think the description on the bottle says it all - "extra pale ale". Imagine the best pale ale you’ve had, then imagine it a bit hoppier and a bit smoother - that’s Hoppe. Yellow pour with a foamy white head, and exceptional lacing. Smooth and drinkable, but hoppy as well. Not as hoppy as an IPA or anything like that, but a nice hop flavor that you don’t always get with a standard pale ale

Orange colour, small but thick head. Fruity citrus aroma with notes of honey. Flavour has more fruit and honey. Long piney hop finish.

Sep 30, 2009 The initial pour gives a finger of head with a very clean golden color. The aroma is citrus-like and even a bit of orange peel. The initial flavor is a combination of citrus hops and sweet tropical fruit that balance out the bitterness. The flavor of alcohol is almost non-existent. The finish is rather dry with some hoppy bitterness which leaves a very pleasant taste from this interesting beer.

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden / orange. Medium head. Fruity pine aroma of hops. Flavour is pineapple, orange and malt with a nicely bitter finish of hops with a caramel aftertaste. Some alcohol sting as well. Interesting, if not great.

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle. Fresh grassy hops. The wheat makes it more complex and "european".

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle, thanks to my friend Fredrik. Pours a deep golden color with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is hoppy with pineapple, apricot, pine-needles, grapefruit and some malty caramel. Flavour is also hoppy with tropical fruits, pine-needles, grapefruit and caramel. Medium bitterness - the hops are more aromatic than bitter... medium to full body, medium carbonation. Well, this is a nice brew - Imperial Extra Pale Ale is a good description since it’s not that extreme hop bomb/overly bitter as a DIPA can be.
