May 22, 2008 This was a pretty tasty little beer. I miss a lot of these beers. they come and go, and I wish that they would continue to make some of them on a full time basis. This is a pretty big hopped up pale ale, could use a little stronger malt background (couldn’t they all) but overall it is pretty substantial and balances out the large amount of grapefruity and citrus hops that bitter out through the entire pint. I would love to have this again.

Dec 18, 2007 Enjoyed 2004 @ Full Sail tasting room in Hood River, Oregon--Poured a light copper body with a fluffy one-finger head. Grassy, fruity, and pretty darn biting on the palate. Not a lot of malt flavor comes out in this hop monster. It is more hops than anything (hence the name). This is one tasty (though unbalanced) springtime brew.

Dec 8, 2005 Pours a nice golden orange. Aromas of hops and citrus. Nice mellow hop citrus flavor. With a name like Hopocity, I thought or rather expected a more hop bite.

Nov 11, 2005 On tap. Poured a light copper color with an ever-lasting thin white head. A decent bouquet of citrusy hops and some grassy notes. The taste was very hoppy, not balanced at all. This was, however a rather drinkable beer amd what malt flavor there was must have been hidden under a steep amount of Amarillo hops. Pretty full mouth feel.

Nov 8, 2005 Dark bronze with a fluffy white head and stringy lacing. Blend of citrus hops with some notes of soap in the nose. Floral and bitter. Balanced out well with a nice backing of malts. Bitter comes out more in the flavor along with citrus; mostly lemons and orange. Smooth hoppy tail that I love. Hops and malts blend very well.
