Hoppe (Imperial Extra Pale Ale)
22 oz. bomber poured into a pint glass. Pours a clear light copper hue with a nice two finger fluffy white head that dies down to a nice lacing. Good stickiness. Very spicey hop aroma...clean, tingles the nose. Floral scents mix in there with a bit of pine as well. Taste starts off with a good balance between piney hops and pale malt. Hops then begin to dominate as the tongue dries and bitterness takes over. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a fair amount of carbonation. Goes down quite well, smooth and crisp. For 10% abv, this goes down very easy. Job well done, much better than Flying Dog's attempt at a Double Pale Ale. Pick up this one for sure if you can.
