Combining the best of two great beer styles, Hoppy Medium is an aggressive American Brown Ale. A roasted malty backbone with a hint of sweetness is complimented by a citrusy hop finish. It’s an IPA. It’s a brown ale. It’s a Hoppy Medium.

Poured a dark brown body with two finger head that died slow and left minimal lace ring. Aroma definitely lets you know that this is hopped up brown ale as mild notes of roasted and caramel malt are trumped by a citric, dirty, piney hop blast. Hops again at forefront of beer as they are the star of this beer. Thankfully, the hops are balanced and give off a mild citric, more earthy, piney, taste that doesn't ruin beer and is complemented by a mild malt presence; beer is hoppy yet retains some sweet, roasted malt edge and is not unbalanced or wonky in any way. I am not a fan of this trend (at least I see it as a growing trend) of different beer styles getting the "IPA treatment" but this beer is pretty good and worth a shot if you like hoppy beers.
