Commercial Description:
We craft this much like a sculptor who uses only a hammer and chisel to shape stone into a masterpiece. Hoppe is spawned of these few essentials: barley, wheat, hops, yeast and water. This limited palette is an exercise in minimalism, with refined elements which are deliberately selected. This simple combination creates a golden shimmering brew infused with delicate aromas. The artful nature of this beer is exposed with the first taste. As the malt and hops created a composition of flavors, and elegant finish leaves an impression that your tastes will not soon forget. Don't be deceived by th innocence of Hoppe. Please enjoy in moderation.

22 oz bomber shared by Rayboy. Light amber/orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet citrus, light notes of pineapple as well as lightly malty. Taste is sweet citrus, notes of mango like fruit, with a moderate bitterness. Nice IPA.

Pour id nice lively golden with a sticky off white head...smell is sweet with tons of sweet citrus grapefruit...definitely smells like a hop bomb...taste is syrupy sweet at first wit a strong hoppy bitterness coming in thereafter...really disappointing...very out of balance...

Pours a pretty pale golden yellow and sports a lingering white head that exudes a pretty robust pine and citrus hop aroma. The flavors are likewise hop skewed...but there is, as it warms a bit, a moderate caramel/toffee maltiness that swoops in to save the day. Big hop profile is the lingering aftertaste, but I’’l be damned if I can identify which ones or where they come from! Great beer from a brewery that continues to please and amaze.

Smells of sour floral hops, very fresh and pleasing. Pours a hazy light copper color with a small white head. Taste is strong sour and bitter hops with a nice malt presence. The alcohol is there but not overpowering. Very nice

Intense hoppy bread like aroma with light mustiness. Golden blond colors with rich white head. Rich almost chococolate initial burst with a musty finish. Some horseblanket. Vanilla pudding. Bitter. Salty. This has some bizarre combination of flavors but not offputting. Some honey and caramel, some pine, some wood. Musty but good. Yeast is doing strange things to this. Unusual and I like it.

Tahitian sunset pour with 1/2 inch eggshell head. The aroma not as pronounced as others but displays notes of nectarine, buttermilk biscuits, and ponderosa. Flavor hides the alcohol well. Grapefruit, pine, and biscuity malt all begging for attention. Lingering tartness. Well balanced just not a WOW!!!

650ml bottle. Golden-orange color, a little cloudy. Excellent fresh and crisp citrus aroma. Lots of hoppy flavor. This beer is big and lets you know it. The alcohol isn’t so much hidden as it is incorporated into the overall taste. The hops perfectly balance the warming effect of the alcohol, with a cool and crisp bitterness. Creamy and rich yeast flavors also come through. Great beer.

Pours golden/light orange with white head. Aroma of hops, and honey. Taste is light notes of grapefruit, dough , and honey. Hops are not overpowering. Goes down easy and shocked this is 10%. Good beer.
