I was expecting more of a hop bang from this, given it’s self proclaimed hop superiousness. Don’t get me wrong its a good beer. Has a nice golden colour, sweet, sugary, hop taste, aftertaste is a bit of a hint of alchohol.

Bottle. High white lasting head. Clear golden body with a lot of carbonation. Spicy hoppy aroma. Dry malt flavor, hoppy and nice bitterness. Alcohol relatively dominant.

Unbelievable head - huge! Cloudy. Nice aroma with hint of citrus. Felt great on the palate. Smooth flavor. Some hoppiness but I expected more. Slight lemon taste.

Cloudy tan, looks like dirty dish water. The head is massive, white and loose. Not much aroma. Sour, malty, yeasty and sweet. But, no hops. At least not much bitterness for a beer named hop-it. It is a bit spicy, more like a traditional strong ale. For that reason, it gets good numbers.

Pours a murky golden orange with a huge fluffy white head. Good lacing on a tulip glass. Nice fruity aroma. Raisins, plums, citrus, and some spices. Nice full mouth feel with a spicy hop finish.

Tap. Hazy golden with an extremely nice, and very creamy (almost whipped cream) white head. Lightly sweet malty aroma. Taste is quite powerful. Pretty vinious and a dry bitterness.

On tap at the Map Room in Chicago, IL. Poured with a nice white head. Light golden color. I was expecting a spectacular experience. I had just had a Trois Pistoles and was in Belgium beer heaven. I was a bit disappointed by this one. I like my golden Belgians to be about the malt an yeast and have the hops play a supporting role. Unfortunately the hops got in the way of all of that. It would be ok with me if the hops were of the late addition variety instead of the bittering and flavor variety. A well made beer, but not what I want in a Belgian, I’ll have an IPA or an American beer with lots of Cascades if I want that much hops.

Clear gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma of light fruit, citrus, a little bit of spice, and hops. Flavors of spice, citrus, orange, sweet and finishes with a little bitter hops.
