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.

Pours a murky deep medium dark amber with a small creamy off white head. Aromas of pineapple, citrus hops, bread, candy, and caramel. The flavors don’t come out like the nose would think it to. The citrus hops are almost undertoned with malt of caramel. Dry and bitter. This is a fair example of balance of its kind. I’m a hop head though...

Bottle: Poured an orange amber with a nice head. The aroma was citrus and grass. The flavor was good and easy drinking. A nice beer.

12 oz bottle. I like this pale ale. Thick white head that stays and leaves rings, cloudy amber color and a full body taste. A nice balance, as you want some bitterness but not enough to overcome the palate. This is a well balance PA.

12 oz bottle via six pack from Jonothan Ron. Pours a very good looking orange/amber with a huge frothy mostly white head that has some very nice staying power and leaves rings of lace down my Allagash glass. Initial aroma was grain, biscuit, slight toffee and citrus rind. After warming some slight chocolate and honey sweetness appears. Flavor is biscuit, citrus rind, burnt toffee. Medium bodied with a slight creamy feel from the large amount of head. I must say this is very sessionable and underrated.

(Sample Date: 12/13/2008 Source:Other) 12 oz bottle. Citrus with a Cheerio graininess and caramel aroma. Cloudy light golden/orange. Lots of caramel in the flavor with a big hop bitterness. Hop flavor is subdued but some of a grassy dry hop flavor. Body and mouthfeel are medium. Finish dry and bitter.

August 2008 Beer of the Month Club

Overall Impression: Pretty hoppy for a Pale. Nice taste to it. Enjoyed it more then the other River Horse Beer in my August 2008 Beer of the Month package.

12oz bonus from goldtwins, thanks Larry. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet with some citrus. Taste is sweet and somewhat hopped. A tad too bitter for the overall taste. But all in all tasty.
