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.

Bottle from Beerman6686. Thanks Daniel. Pours a goldish yellow color with a little head. Aroma is that of a big ass APA. Bready and biscuity malts with a nice kick of citrus and floral hops. Drinks like a big APA. Nice malty beer that has nice notes of bread and biscuits. Maybe cookies - sweet bready. Finishes with a nice big bitterness that consisted of citrus and pine. Could not tell this was 10%. Pretty big carbonation, a little dry and resinous. Some good stuff. I would like to try this one when fresh.

A- Pours a deep yellowish orange color with a small but sustainable white head. S- Smell is light bready maltiness accompanied by a strong burst of hops. T- Taste is bready, sweet with an intense bitter hop kick at the end. Very dry. M- semi viscous, very carbonated and super dry, leaves the tongue seconds after it is ingested except for a bitterness. D- Semi drinkable, I could drink this glass easily but I didn’t want another after.

Bottle. Pours a clear straw gold with little head. Aroma is very hoppy and bright. Lots of pine and citrus hoppiness in the flavor; very tasty and drinkable.

22 ounce bottle. Pours is brilliant golden with some rising carbonation. Resinous pure white head. Bright citrus and pine dry hop aroma. Really, can you go wrong with Amarillo and Columbus? I think not.The flavor is a restrained blast of hops, pine, and a slick sweet malty character. Full body, with above average carbonation, and a a long bitter finish. If they could make this beer, but knock it down to say 6 percent, I’d drink it all the time.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a nice white head. The aroma was extremely hoppy with an underlying sweetness and a touch of citrus. The taste was hoppy and sweet with more hops following. Palate was thick and quite enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a straw yellow color, with a clear watery head. Spotty lacing. Big hop aroma, with honey and cinnamon. Some licorice, too. Very floral overall. Hops infused with a maltiness hits strong, with a creamy tang reminiscent of vanilla and ginger. Some grapefruit too. Bitter mouthfeel, smooth and drinkable.

22 oz bottle. Dark golden/amber color. Flavor is pure octane alcohol. Light hop flavor. Rich, syrupy, thick body. Tough to drink. Really surprised how poor this is. Not good.
