Sweaty, perfumey, floral, hop forward aroma with plenty of tannins and some some sweet toasted, biscuity malt character beneath with only the faintest traces of alcohol. Opaque tan-brown coloured body is topped by a fine bubbled, off white head that recedes to a partial cover with some fine lacing. Sweet, floral, perfume-like, herbal, leafy, and earthy hops spar with the toasty, sweet malts. Bitterness while certainly aggressive is never overwhelming. Medium body with delightfully fluffy, airy carbonation that releases all the flavours. It seems like with that much malt and hops it should be heavy and syrupy so the contrast in the mouth is wonderful. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

Aug 30, 2008 RBSG 2008. Big hop bomb, but one of those that is done right. Loads of floral hop flavor, the bitterness is there, but restrained. Tangerine flavors blend with the chewy caramel base, finishing with resiny grapefruit. Very well put together.

Aug 7, 2008 RBSG ’08. Sampled from a growler that AgentSteve was carrying around towards the end of the evening. Some carbonation with a small bit of white lacing. Deep amber color. Huge aroma of pine tree and hop resin with loads of caramel malt. Very malty base with sappy grapefruit spice in the flavor. Huge body on this one, you can really bite into it. Nearly endless bitter and spicy hops finish. Apparently it was a few months old; I’ll bet its epic when tasted fresh. Thanks to AgentSteve for pouring me a glass of this!

Aug 6, 2008 Thanks to aspidites for this - although someone else poured it. Hazy brown with a lacing tan head. Aroma is caramel and dense pinewood hoppy with a minor note of grapefruit. Flavour is dense hoppy and thick malty - sweet, solid brew. Very flavourful indeed. Grapefruity and solid bitter into the finish. Fantastic flavour.

Aug 4, 2008 Shared at the Grand Tasting, RBSG. Was it just me or does Uberhoppy have a serious malt backbone, don’t get me wrong it had some nice hoppy bitterness, but very sweet and creamy.

Aug 3, 2008 From a bottle shared at the Grand Tasting during RBSG 2008. Mild hops with a very nice malty creaminess to it. I was really bummed to find out this was the only bottle. It was a great treat to try it.
