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.

Clear light amber with a fleeting head. Nice grassy, sweet malt aroma. Smooth medium body with mild carbonation. Good pale malt sweetness carrying flavors of pine sap and floral hops. Has a mild alcohol bitterness to finish. Enjoyed this one.

A dork yellow color with a huge head. Hoppy and little fruit aroma. The hops are strong but not over powering. The alchahol is well hidden as this is a very drinkable brew.

[1260-20080405] 650mL bottle. Sweet bitter citrus peel aroma with hints of bitter sweat. Slightly hazy, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. Bitter navel peel flavour has sweet citrus hops. Bitter medium body. Yum!

Bottle supplied by steve taht DrBayern and CelticBrew and I shared. It poured a cloudy golden color. There was minimal head, but the fine lace remained around the edge. I found the beer to be somewhat thin. The hops was there, but it failed to knock off my socks, which I expoect with an American Strong. A nice beer though.

Slightly cloudy yellow brew, large thick whipped cream like white head. Pleasant grassy, orange zest aroma. Medium bodied, thick heavy bitter bite. Like chewing on fresh grapefruit peels...I love it!

Bottle. Pours straight orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is very sweet and of floral hops. The flavor is very sweet as well with a light bitterness at the end. Has a oily, resiny body as well. Nice drinkability.

Yep, another great beer shared by Steve at his place. Doboy, DrBayern and I are in rare form. Hey Matt, loved the joke about the fella and the 20 dollars, roflmao! The beer poured from bomber a nice medium golden. Aroma was of grapefruits, hops and wet forrest grasses. The flavour was of lovely malts, hops and resins. This beer is awesome. I would love to try the on tap version. Thanks Steve for letting me experience my first couple of Southern Tier beers!

650 ml. Clear, burnt orange with a small creamy head that leaves frosting behind. Large aroma of juicy orange and grapefruit, both drizzled in a honey-pine resin mixture. Flavor is orange with some light honey, fruity oat, berry and citrus peel turning to more citrus peel and resin. Finishes a bit harshly with orange baby aspirin, resin and sodden wood. Light-medium body is almost smooth, but has a little too much carbonation and finishes to the dry side. Update: much better with a smoother hop flavor and less carbonation after "breathing" for a day.
