Hoppe (Imperial Extra Pale Ale)
Clear golden honey color with an off-white head. Aroma of pelletized hops and canned malt extract. At first I thought I was smelling a freshly cleaned gerbil cage - not in a bad way - shall we say cedar chips and pellet rodent food? Ok, so it doesn't sound good. Maybe some old hay in my uncle's barn that had been laying there awhile. Coarse grainy flavors with more hop pellet. There is a pleasant country field character throughout the nose and flavor. Lush medium body with alcohol and hops on the finish. I did enjoy moments of this beer, but it seemed somewhat clumsy and uneven. But it had 10% alcohol and lots of hops right? Grow up.
