Commercial Description:
Brewing the perfect ale is truly a balancing act ... Hazardous work you might say. With Hop Hazard our challenge was to hand craft a malt rich base that could counterbalance a combustible five-hop blend and still leave your taste buds with enough room to enjoy a unique, dry-hopped finish.

This pale ale pours a dark brown color form a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is floral and grapefruit with some earthiness. Medium bodied pale ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are mostly earthy and floral, but there is a nice citrusy/grapefruity bite as well. Nice balance. Very nice beer. Would make a decent session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

really easy to drink this one, real mild hop preceance and a nice subtle malt sweetness to it. Kinda watery but a good session beer.

A solid, sessionable APA. Deep amber pour with a slender off-white head. Caramel aroma with floral (rose petal)and citric hop scents. Medium-bodied, it has good balance between the malty sweetness and the hop bitterness in the flavor, ending on an abrupt, citric, bitter note.

Dark amber pour with a thin and short lasting white head. Malty caramel aroma with some floral hops. Initially very malty with a lot of bread/dough. Hops come through in the finish, mostly citrus with moderate bitterness. A tad watery, but a solid take on an APA.

Nose of spice, alcohol, some citrus, cereal & oats, flowers, resin, and burnt molasses. Pours a hazy clover honey. The off white head is mostly diminishing with light lace. The brew is well balanced with plenty of malt. Light acidity transcends into a long nutty bitter finish with hints of dried fruit. Reminds me more of an English Pale or ESB than an APA. The medium body is soft and dry.

Bottled. Poured orangy gold, with a nice white head. A nice floral hop nose and a well-balanced flavor.
