Commercial Description:
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there’s a floral and citrus hop finish. It’s then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American, English and German malts to balance the large amount of hops. The HopFish also uses three hop varieties at five different times and has been dry-hopped for two weeks with 22lbs of Nugget whole leaf hops.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear dark amber, minimal head. Peachy nose. very dry and lightly appley, fairly light bodied. Kind of bland for an IPA and with disturbing green apples. Finishes with medium bitterness.

Mostly lasting 1cm thick white head covers the light amber body. Citric and brightly orangey nose works well with the gently toasted malts. Slight soapiness reminisces of English takes. Almost hay-like flavour profile. Light-medium carbonation, light-medium bodied.

12oz bottle-pours a rocky off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is mild medium malt, biscuity, hops-citrus (Amarillo?) and English. Taste is medium malt-caramel, biscuity, hops-citrus (Amarillo?) and English/metallic, some bitterness. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc 215 for sharing.

Bottle sampled on 1/21/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet crystal malt with a nice grapefruity hop presence. Body starts lightly sweet and caramely slowly revealing some citrusy hoppiness before a slightly sticky bittersweet finish. A good IPA.
