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. pale orange color. Grapefruit, mandarin curacao and flowery hops in teh somewhat perfumed aroma. Malty sweet, grapefruity flavor with oily and flowery hops and lychee. Long perfumed hoppy grapefruity aftertaste. Good balance, but the perfume annoys a bit.

22oz Bottle: Pours a clear golden with a solid white head that lingers.Aroma is sweet with only a few hops present. The taste is very nice albeit a bit sweet. the mouthfeel is medium with a little resin. Overall a good beer but not as Hoppy as I expected.

22 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured dark gold with fizzy white head. Decent lacing. Lots of citrus goodness present. On the thin side and lacking malt. Hmm, american strong ale or imperial extra pale ale as the label says?

Nice bouquet of floral hops. Big sweet malty aroma (not exactly what I’m looking for) Heavy even. Medium-full bitterness. Clean, with full fruity hopdriven finish. Lighter than expected from the aroma, but still heavy, even it comes across as fairly dry.

Pale orange-amber beer with small, off-white head. Wet dog, rainwater, faint flowery, hops, and a faint brandy aroma. Sweetish, but with a hoppy flavour; stale cookies in the background. Medium bodied, alcohol obvious. Quite neutral beer. Good balance, but that being the best that I can state about it. The wheat keeps hidden. Thanks, CK!
