Hop Hearty Ale
12 oz. bottle tried 21 Feb 2009. Courtesy of R&S, thanks! Poured in shaker pint glass. Very large tight off white head. Slight carbonation. Clear deep golden orange color. Aroma is of fresh hops, resin, hay and grass. Starts with some caramel malt and progresses to a nice resin bitterness. Some apple fruitiness in the middle and finish. Bittersweet and fruity finish that lingers through a long aftertaste. Medium body. Ethanol present but not too strong. Tasty IPA that is not overpowering, would be easy to drink several at one sitting.
