Hopsnort Golden Pale Ale
On a recent trip to the Outer Banks, I stumbled accross this beautiful beer, definitely my favorite out of the 15-20 I tried in the Banks. She pours a nice clear golden color with a good hearty white head. The smell and taste are completely dominated by some incredibly fresh hop scents and flavors. There is some heavy grapefruit with a minimal pine backing that really brings this "i"pa into excellent territory. The mouthfeel and drinkability are both impressive enough to make this a beer that I will certainly search out the next time I make the trip up to the banks. Excellent.
