Commercial Description:
Hoppin' Mad Trout is brewed as an India Pale Ale. It has a smooth, toasted malt flavor dominated by hops. A distinct flowery aroma and a clean, dry finish round out this ale.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with no apparent lot code or expiration/bottling date. The pour is a slightly cloudy amber-orange with a thick, puffy white head. The aroma is more malty and bready than hoppy so in that regard it does not live up to the traditional IPA standard. The hops are also light on the taste buds in the flavor considering it is an IPA. I notice something more akin to stale malts and yeast. It was fairly easy to drink so that was its saving grcae. I had a hard time believing it to be an IPA.

12oz bottle purchased at Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord. Pours a murky amber-yellow body with no head. Smells fruity and grassy. Sour apple, grass, and mint characterize the flavor. Again, this seems spoiled, but since it shares the same character with the other beer I’ve had from this brewery, I’m not sure. Aqueous bordering on thin with little carbonation. Not impressed with this one.

Hazy apricot pour with thin sudsy head. About 1/4th of my beer has a head actually. Aroma is slight of grain and has a distinct chemical aroma. Flavor is riddled with chemical flavors that mimic fruit concentrate. Finishes like swamp water. Palate is medium with a water like finish. This is wretched- a drain pour for sure.

Bottle. Pours clear dirty gold with a pasty white head of medium-sized bubbles. Aroma of fine sugar, cornbread, and sweet lemonade. Flavor has some soda cracker, water and malt, with a finishing hint of hops. Standard. On second thought, this is trying to be an IPA???

On tap at brewery. One of several tasted. Wasn’t really impressed with this one. Does not stand up to most of the other readily available IPA choices to be had.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a small white head. Aroma of faint malts, lemon and some grain. Flavor is slightly metallic and grainy with a hint of fruit and is thin bodied.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of yeast, vinyl, and chemicals. Very plasticy. Poured golden/amber/honey in color with a tiny, fizzy, white head that disappeared almost immediately. Cloudy. Some medium and large-sized particles. Not sparkling. Slightly sweet. Almost no flavor at all. Tastes of water, lager yeast, and a bit of caramel. Terrible. Light to medium body. Thin, watery texture. Average carbonation. Lightly dry, slightly sweet yeast finish. More of a flavored water than a beer.
