This dry-hopped ale combines carmel and biscuit malt flavors in happy equilibrium with late addition American hops. The approachable balance is intentional although the name is "hoppy accident."

In the 2023 beer advent calendar.
A gorgeous amber color with a frothy head that settles down nicely.
It is malty and there's something else going on-- nutmeg, maybe? However you pour it, pour another one for me. Yum.

Pours orangey-coppery-honeyey. Thick head that lasts.
Smells citrusy.
Tastes like an IPA but less so. Less grapefruity, but still hoppy. Bitter back end, more so than the smell and front end taste would suggest.

Good brew overall if you like hops.

The beer is a dark amber color with a medium-size off-white head.
Aroma of caramel and bread.
Taste of caramel, biscuit. Late hop bitterness.
Medium-bodied. The bitterness was unexpected.

Nice caramel and yeasty malt with an excess of bitter hops on the finish. The citrus is nice but the dank marijuana is overpowering on the nose and the taste.

12 oz. can dated 3/16/21
Pours a deep copper orange color with a huge long lasting rocky head. Beautiful
Aroma is caramel malt, bread crust and orange peel. The can says “ If it weren’t for autocorrect you’d be drinking hoppy amber” Much more hop character in the taste than the nose. Lots of citrus, grapefruit, orange peel, pine. Great caramel, bready backbone. Excellent brew. Would buy again
