bottle: weizen: pours a clear yellow/ amber, lots of tiny pour bubbles. The nose is very hopp. The taste is very bitter upfront, not much else... honestly a bit annoying after awhile...

Bottle. Pours golden-orange color with foamy head. Aroma is earthy, floral and citrusy. Flavors of caramel, citrus, and spice. Leans toward EIPA. A little musty and muddled.

Bottle: Poured a clear medium amber color ale with a rather large foamy head with OK retention and no lacing. Aroma of medium bitter hops with some floral notes. Taste is a nice enough mix between some bitter hops with a stronger then expected caramel malt backbone. Body is a bit thin for style with good carbonation. Not bad though a bit shy on the hops for the style.

Pours a medium bodied golden with a white foamy head. Aromas of pine and citrus hops with a touch of candy and some caramel. Flavors of the pine and some citrus with a small caramel malt backbone. Touch of sweetness, bitter, slightly dry and crisp end. The abv of my bottle was 6.8.

As the name implies, a very hoppy brew that is sure to please IPA lovers. Great texture and flavor.
