Bert Grant's Fresh Hop Ale
Being a hophead anything called Fresh Hop Ale, I would naturally find appealing. But I found it to be quite a surprise. Not very hoppy at all. More sweet malt than hops in the taste. An attractive copper color in the glass and a nice frothy head with plenty of lacing action. The smell was more caramel than citrus. Appealing none the less. Mouthfeel supple enough but could be a little fuller and rounder given its malt prescence. This is an acceptable session beer but nothing special overall.I might have approached it differently had not the name implied that it was a heavily hopped ale. I'd bill it as an average offering.
