Commercial Description:
Hops Infusion exhibits deep malt characteristics- this beer has undeniable character and body. Glowing a deep amber color, Hops Infusion is brewed with seven types of hops. The result is unmistakable-- hop-heavenly flavor with earthy, spicy, sharp citrus notes. Hops Infusion has four times the dry-hopping as our already hoppy IPA.

Apricot pour. Massive, willing, rocky head. Excellent lacing. At first the aromas are difficult to pick out, over time though they become more apparent. Quite dry and muddled for an IPA. The malts are cracker thin and pasty. Sweetness is almost non existant from the grains. Dry ale yeast and a high attenuater i should guess, no esters. Saaz hop aroma. German and Czech hoppiness abounds. Nothing flowery in the american sense of hops. Very green peppery. Green Thai Chiles. A few animal crackers. Flavors lack the depth necessary to make this an excellent beer. Mostly vague and powdery. Astringent bitterness. Chemical aftertaste. Honestly not all that great I had really hoped for more. G

Hazy and thick, with not a lot of head as it came out of the bottle. "There’s so much hop oil in this beer that it doesn’t even look like beer," I thought to myself. But sadly, this prediction proved to be a disappointing falsehood. This beer really didn’t strike me as a all that hoppy...at least not in a way I could really enjoy. Aroma was dry and pine-y, but not really all that pungently hoppy. Flavor is also very dry, a bit pine-y, and very dryly bitter. Not much else going on here though. Not a lot of malt or other flavors. Mouthfeel is good, not too sticky. I’d weakly recommend this.

bottle thanks to daknole. murky amber pour with a small ring of thick froth. citrusy fresh hops on the nose. a little thick on the palate with a very sharp hop taste and a resiny bitter finish.

Pours an amber color with a small off-white head and some webs of lacing. Aroma is lightly malty with piney hops. Taste is about the same - pretty good but nothing memorable.

Bottle: Pours a light copper color with a decent-sized white head...fair retention and lacing. Light malts, resiny hops...and not much else, maybe some mild citrus notes. Flavor follows, dry bitter finish. Not sure how old this was but it was very mediocre.

from bottle. Part of April Dayton Beertasting event. Pours clear amber with long lasting head. Aroma of piney hops. Good mouthfeel but finished flat.
