A sip brings the bitterness of a teenage child who is sure that his parents don't "get it" when the grounded him for just a couple of joints - I mean what's the big deal, anyways? Jeeze, Dad, I don't need the lecture like this. When I'm 18, I am out of here, and I'll smoke as much weed as I want!
Sorry, I got off on a tangent there... where was I? Yes, I was talking about the sip, and it was very hoppy and bitter. Here's the thing - it is oddly crisp, which I don't normally associate with a hoppy beer.
Tip-in is floral hops and a slight carbonation burn. There is nothing else peeking around it. The floral hops continue toward the middle as they drag leaf ends down the back of the throat. What's that? It may be an orange saying hello right before it's drown in a bitter sea of even more hops. As the finish arrives, guess what? If you said, "More hops?" you were right! All the way to the bitter end, there are hops as far as the eye can see.
Bottom Line: Hops. And then they added more hops. Not very artful, but not a bad hammer to be hit by.
3.5/5
