Weyerbacher Hops Infusion

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Draft. Light orange in color. Thin to no head. Somewhat flat in appearance, like a stale soda. Light, empty, watery first taste. Quick finish with pleasant hoppy/alcohol report. Confusing beer to me . . . has promise but doesn’t quite get it going.

Wow, I have had lots of Weyerbacher brews and thought for sure I had gotten this before. This thing has a ton of citrusy hops, almost producing a burn on the tongue like it has pepper in it. Gotta say that I liked it tho’

On draft with Stegosaurus and The Mad Indian at the Newtown Brewfest. Pours copper with an off-white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. The flavor is mildly bitter and citrusy. Good beer.

Bottle. Pours semi-cloudy light amber color with a foamy white head. The aroma is Quite yeasty with notes of flour and sharp grapefruit scents. This brew is definitely hoppy, but it seems a little muddled. Some chalky notes are noted along with grapefruit. The caramel is not all that prominent, it makes the beer seem thinner. The whole thing just seems rough around the edges. Also, I think it could be hoppier if that’s what they’re going for. A final observation though, halfway through the glass this starts to grow on me more with a green tea character and a building, drying finish.

From a 12 oz. bottle with no freshness date. Poured a cloudy orangey amber with a foamy, fluffy head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, small amount of ringed lacing. Hoppy aroma, citric, a soft pine, earthy, spicy and dry, oily with a touch of maltiness that is very much in the background. Moderate carbonation overall and a crisp, dryish, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Like in the aroma, the hops dominate, citric, oily, an earthy, spicy herbalness, a subtle floral, a soft dry leafiness, the malts are very subdued, a light grainy with a little sweetness and a dryish hoppy finish. This is a hopped up IPA, but not a tongue number, the thinness of the malts to me is a drawback, but still quaffable, something I might spend a night with every 3 to 6 months, but not regularly.

Sampled with Stegosaurus and Beerded_one at Newtown Beerfest. Nice copper pour with yellowish head. Good hop aroma (not over done) Good hop taste not complex but its blended just right. Good brew.

12 oz. bottle via trade with Ty5592 - Pours a clear reddish-amber color with a nice size off white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Has a nice grapefruit hop aroma. Flavor is also mainly citrus hops. There’s a little caramel malt in the background. Very easy to drink with very little astringent after taste. Medium body. Thanks Ty.

12oz bottle (thanks to jah noth) pured a deep copper color with a nice sized off white head. The aroma was a big mix of hops with a spicey citrus and pine along with some caramel. The taste had an agresive bitterness with a slightly grassy taste. Overall it was a good beer for having so much hops in it.
