Hop 15
A - Pours a hazy, orange-copper color with a somewhat small white head. Decent retention and leaves some pretty nice lacing. S - Juicy, citric hop aromas dominate, leaning towards grapefruit. A touch of spicy and floral character to the hops as well. Subtle malt sweetness in the background. For 10% abv, no notable alcohol presence on the nose. T - Big hop flavor all around, with juicy, citrus flavors most noticeable (grapefruit and tangerine come to mind). The hops are not one-sided though, and also lend some piney, grassy and floral flavors. Balanced with some sweet caramel malt flavors, although they take a definite back seat. Finish brings some spicy hop bitterness and leads into a citric and slightly piney aftertaste. Slight alcohol warmth, but it is really incorporated well into this brew. M - Very resinous with a fairly full body and low carbonation D - Considering its abv, the Hop 15 is very drinkable. Chock full of delicious hop goodness with enough sweetness to maintain a nice balance. I really enjoyed this one and will definitely seek it out again.
