Commercial Description:
A complex malt and hop theme park in your mouth
Named after the hop flower Humulus Lupulus, this India Pale Ale style beer has enormous amounts of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. With a very complex malt bill, flavors seem to meld with the hops to balance this ale and provide a ridiculous urge to sample more.

On tap at the hopcat in Grand Rapids. This stuff has an in your face hop character, with just enough citrus and floral goodness to keep you hooked. Crisp and to the point. This would be great with a burger.

On tap at Brannigan Brothers, Lansing, MI. One of my favorite IPAs out there, cascade hops up the wazoo. Comparable to Hopslam from Bells. Must be an IPA lover for this one.

Bottle at the 2007 GABF: Cloudy golden bronze with a thin coating of wispy white head. Aroma of fresh resiny piny hops and sugary caramel malt. Body has a touch of grapefruity bitterness with some crisp pale malty sweetness. A pretty well-balanced and drinkable IPA.

On tap at the Oak Cafe (my favorite place). Cloudy yellow color with a decent white head. The aroma is of citrus hops and a hint of caramel malt. Nice mouthfeel here--easy to drink and carbonated just right. Tastes of dough, lemons, and definite hop bitterness mixed in.
