Commercial Description:
Our Hop Knot IPA is made only from American malt and lots of American hops, which produce a big, broad-shouldered, hoppy beer backed up by a character as warm as, well, Mom and apple pie… Hop Knot IPA get its peculiar name from the weaving of four different hops added at four separate times during the brewing process. Including our cavernous hop-back, which gets so stuffed with whole leaf hops that we feel genuine guilt for its excess. Hop Knot is an ale that is to be enjoyed with friends, spicy food or any time you need a good hop fix without the harsh bitterness. We hope you enjoy this pioneering beer made in the bold spirit of Americans everywhere.

Sampled at the brewery. Nice white head. Brilliant copper color. Nice hop nose with notes of grapefruit, lemon and strawberry. Bitterness up front and in the finish but some carmel sweetness in the end. I think it could be amped up a bit based upon what they’re trying to sell it as....a hop bomb. Not quite there.

Scottsdale location. The beer was 2 days old and cask-conditioned. Pours to a filtered bright amber body with a really dense, creamy white head. The aroma is grassy, weeds. The flavor is nicely malty with a bitter grassy hop. The palate is bitter, clean, and easy drinking. Medium bodied but goes down smooth. A spicy hop kick on the finish.

Pours golden yellow with a bit of haze. A lasting chalky froth sticks around the whole drink. Strong aromas of bright fresh citrus rind flowers. Medium nectar with good carbonation. This is a dry and very hoppy brew with a mild malt backbone for support. Thers not alot going on here. It’s just hops and a bit thin on the palate. No offensive nuances though. The finish is bittered extensively and strict with grapefruit and citrus rind. Overall: It’s a hop bomb for sure, just not balanced and it doesn’t hit the required 7% abv. Hoppy yet weak.

Draft - clear golden body with a beige head. Big grass hop nose. A touch of pine hops as well. Big hop flavor! Could use a touch more malt to balance. Good!

Cask Conditioned. A light and citrusy IPA. Does not overwelm with bitter or alcohol. When on cask this beer is absolutely smooth and creamy on the palate.

Draft. No notes, going from memory. Aroma is lightly floral, lightly pine, lightly citrus. Some spice to it with a good overall profile. Moderately bitter. I’ve had this one on a couple of occasions and I never seem to take notes. Great flavor, an easy IPA. Would like to take notes next time I’m there.

If you like hoppy beer, this is about as hoppy as I have had, great bitter taste! You don’t expect it from the apperance in the glass, or the aroma, but the flavor punches you in the mouth! I love this beer! My favorite when i am at Four Peaks!
