Denver ChopHouse Extra Bitter Bitter

Draught at Denver ChopHouse. Pours clear amber with an average, creamy, light brown head, lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, grain, meal), average hops (flowers, herbs), heavy yeast (dough, sweat) with notes of pineapple. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. This was very well put together and a nice, drinkable beer.

Draft at Denver Chophouse. Amber bodied. Nose is strong hops and citrus fruits. Some pineapple. Taste is hoppy and citrusy with sweet malts and light caramel. Body is creamy with some stickiness and oily notes. There’s a lingering hop bitterness and a dryness in the finish. Ends with more hops, citrus notes, and light pine blended amongst the caramel.

on tap-pours a light tan head that laces and blotches on the surface and copper color. Aroma is citrus hops-grapefruit. Taste is sweet citrus hops-grapefruit with a dry bite, medium malt. Dry bitter finish.

Draft pint at the brewpub: Pleasantly plump amber color with a small rapidly retreating but sticky head. Hop-leafy aroma and a wonderfully fruity, flowery hoppy aromatic flavor. Quite excellent.

This was quite tasty too! Rich aroma of hoppiness, pleasant fresh cut flowers, with some cookie dough maltiness. Flavor has a great malt balance, with some great lingering bitterness.
