COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Covert Hops is a crafty ale. Its stealthy dark appearance belies a light body and beguiling hop aroma from the loads of herbal, piney hops (4+ lbs per barrel to be exact) that melds exceedingly well with its deliciously devious roasty flavor.

Papsoe (25129) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 17, 2012
On tap. Pours an opaque black with a creamy beige head. Only subdued citrusy hops in the nose, the heavy roast dominates. Light body only with a very dry roastiness and a malt bitter finish. Easy going, but I would’ve loved a little more hop character throughout, I find the roast a little too dominant. 120512
