beer_name: Hopsichord - Beer Camp #36
text: On tap for the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Party at the brewery. This was the star of the show (among many other stars) in my opinion. Pours a bright and clear light amber color with a nice creamy white head, good lacing down the sides of the glass. Aromas are phenomenal. The nose is just full of fresh resiny hops and tons of fruits. Mostly orange, tangerine, apricots, fresh cut pine, and resin. Taste is just like the nose. Tons of complex hops flavors bounce around your mouth. Apricots, tangerines, oranges, and sugary grapefruit. Backdrop provides a slightly sweet creamy malts. Finish is crisp, tangy, slightly dry, and with hints of pine bitterness. Mouthfeel is perfect. Smooth, very full, creamy, and with lively carbonation. Drinkability is excellent. This is the best DIPA I have had in quite some time. Awesome stuff. Hoping I can get a growler fill in a few days. Side Note : PLEASE Sierra Nevada, bottle this beer! I know Hoptimum is the next bottled offering, and that is a nice beer, but man... I thought Hopsichord was quite a bit better.
