Hopworks Organic Secret Alt

Nice deep amber pour with a big fluffy white head. Citurs and caramel aroma with a much bigger hop flavor than I was expecting. Very flavorful, would drink again.

Draught. Poured amber with thick white head that quickly dissipated. Some lacing. Faint malty aroma, that became more pronounced as the beer warmed. Light malty flavour with a bit of a hop finish. This ought to be served at cool room temperature to bring out its best qualities.

On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours red/amber with a small light beige head. Fruity nose, hops and caramel malts. Overall a very hoppy alt, don’t go into this thinking big malty german style, expect more like an amber. Very nicely done beer though, balanced and floral.

On tap at the brewpub in Portland, OR--Mild to deep amber body. Rich, lush creamy head. Spicily hopped, faintly caramel, fragrant brew in the same vein as Uerige Sticke. Very gritty and chewy without the cloyingness. Solid flavorful beer that keeps reminding me why I love HUB’s beers.
