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.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy vivid golden color with a very large yellow-white head. The aroma was dry and earthy with moderately strong floral and piney hop elements. The flavor was lightly sweet and tangy with spicy and floral hops followed by grapefruit and a hint of pine. Overall a nicely complex hop presence. The finish was dryish and hoppy. The mouthfeel was moderately thick. The alcohol was well hidden. Very interesting.

Pours bright gold with a two-finger white head. Mostly pine in the aroma, with some hop florals. Flavor is incredibly well-balanced: honey-sweet malt and flower-sweet hops blending with bright hop resin. The bitterness intensifies after the swallow, allowing the actual hop flavors to fully develop. Pretty amazing brew.

Bottle shared by jsquire at jsquire’s. Small white head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, transparent, no carbonation observed, and a golden orange hue. Nose was some malt, hoppy, pine, citrus, and some caramel. Ditto for the flavor and considering the ABV of this beer it was fairly well masked. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Very quaffable, very tasty and nicely done by STBC. Worthy of a try.

Caramel malt sweetness, some piney hops, stone fruit aroma. Deep clear gold, smooth texture, alcohol is nearly invisible, good fruity flavor and moderate bitterness. I would have preferred a bit stronger hop aroma and flavor.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours an egg yolk orange color that is hazy with a moderate layer of alabaster bubbles that quickly diminishes. Aroma is of flowers, light malts and citrus fruits, with a touch of honey. Taste is of nice malts infused with floral hops, citrus, honey and spice. Medium bodied and lightly crisp, with good carbonation. Ending is of an elongated floral bitterness with notes of honey and spice.

Bomber: Pours a cloudy bright orange with a thin white head, huge amount of citrus and honey in the aroma, starts and ends bitter with a sweet floral note in the aftertaste, big bodied with nice carbonation at the beginning and smooth ending.
