Weyerbacher Hops Infusion

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

I concur with the one dimensional flavor. Over-bearing with the hop aspect, that is about all the brew brings to the table (which may not be a bad thing for some). Strong citrus flavor reminds me of DuClaw’s Venom, however with a lighter body. A standard IPA.

Bottle: Poured a deep orangey amber color ale with a huge off-white foamy head with particularly good retention. Aroma of citrus hops is quite powerful. Taste is also dominated by the citrus hops which are quite good but malt seems a bit too discreet and out of balance. A bit too one-dimensional and more caramel/sweet malt base would have brought a better balance in my opinion.

The Weyerbacher Hops Infusion is brewed with seven different types of hops. This makes for an extremely hoppy beer, of course. The problem here is the one dimensional aspect of the brew. There is no malt backbone here at all. It would have been nice to taste more balance in the flavor. The pour is a dark orange color with a nice white head that had decent retention. The aroma was of bitter hops and grapefruit.

The new incarnation of this brew is much more enjoyable than the previous recipe. The elder formula was going in to many directions at once. The current beer is a nice solid IPA that straddles the citrus/woodsy line very well. There is enough malt in the backbone to keep things interesting. I really like the beers dryness; it is great for the summer.

Pours a clear dark orange with a nice amount of foamy manilla head. Aroma is hoppy and citrusy, a bit of pine too. Flavor is fruity and mellow for an ipa, good sweet grapefruit flavors. Overall, a nice sippin ipa.

Bottle. I was hoping for more here. Pretty weak hop character. Nothing special. Bland.

amber in appearance with massive light brown head...huge aroma of sweet malts and floral and bitter finishing hops...flavor is quite hoppy, with hints of grapefruit, flowers, and diacetyl...finishes quite bitter and dry...an interesting IPA

Deep copper-brown with big foamy white head which faded slowly, stranding intricate lace along the length of its fall. Aromas of floral hops, vanilla, peaches, citrus, juniper, cardamom, citrus, malt and alcohol. Big hop flavor -- grapefruit and juniper -- with notes of tar, pitch, candy sugar, orange and lemon, black pepper, herbs, with malt lurking in the background. Bitter dry finish. Mouthfeel is good, slightly oily and not too bubbly.
