Description:

The simplicity of Hoppe tests the skill and ability of the brewer to create something truly majestic. We craft this much like a sculptor who uses only a hammer and chisel to shape stone into a masterpiece. Hoppe is spawned of these few essentials: barley, wheat, hops, yeast and water. This limited palette is an exercise in minimalism, with refined elements which are deliberately selected. This simple combination creates a golden shimmering brew infused with delicate aromas. The artful nature of this beer is exposed with the first taste. As the malt and hops create a composition of flavors, an elegant finish leaves an impression that your tastes will not soon forget.

Appearance - 4.0

One finger of sticky white head, that settles fairly quickly, but leaves lots of lacing. Hoppe is slightly cloudy and golden orange in color.

Aroma - 5.0

Lots of citrusy, orange and caramel malt on the nose. As it warms, the sweetness becomes more dominate than the hops.

Mouthfeel - 4.0

Medium in body with good carbonation. Oily and dry in the mouth.

Taste - 4.0

A little bit of citrus up front followed by the sweet malts combined with a touch of orange. There's some biscuity malts that followup the sweet ones. It finishes dry with a little bit of bitterness. The malts seem to beat out the hops in the flavor department as well. Alcohol is hidden well.

Overall - 4.5

This is a great beer, now it makes me even more interested to try the blended(unearthly/hoppe) Gemini beer. This beer is certainly worth a try.
