Very hoppy nose, perhaps Hallertau or Liberty hops. The beer has a somewhat malty taste with a hoppy finish. Stylistically, this beer might be called an American Pale Ale. Overall, a good product, but not as good as the Red Granite. This dark reddish to amber ale has a very malty nose, taste and finish.
Hops are more and more detectable, as the recipe seems to be evolving over time.
This beer is somewhere between the style of E.S.B. and English Mild and is among the better micro-beers in Texas. It is unfortunate that the bottled products of Hill Country Brewing are only available in Austin, but you might find a keg at a Gingerman's or other purveyor of fine beers in the state. Interestingly, the bottling line is evidently run by volunteers.
