Bitchin' Camaro
Hopworks Brewery

On tap at the Powell location.

A clear light orange with a dense, off-white head with good retention and lacing, this looks solid. The nose is bright, fruity and surprisingly clean, with a sharp focus on the fruit and the bitterness. A great blend of citrus rind pine, some tropical fruit and hop oils is present. Being a lager, this is quite clean as well. This is pretty nicely replicated on the palate, with the focus on the hops really coming thru. Bright bitterness, clean and fruity, focuses on citrus and pine. Mild lager fruitiness is present. Drying, bitter on the finish, this beer is light in body and moderately carbonated. Solid stuff.

On tap at the Bike Bar.

Bitchin' Camaro pours a crystal clear light gold. The pour was to the rim, so no head to speak of, but some mild lacing as it went down. Sheesh, am I still talking about beer?

Anyhoo, mild freshly cracked grain and some floral and spicy hops is about all the make up in the aroma. For a "fresh hop" beer, it's not as intense as I was expecting, lager or otherwise.

A mildly sweet, lightly toasted bread leads directly into a spicy and floral flavor. Lots of pepper.

Feel is exceptionally light,crisp, and clean. Mild to medium carbonation, and balanced.

This is an easy drinking beer that straddles the line between Czech style Pilsner and IPL. Nothing necessarily fancy, but a pleasant all day quencher that would be perfect to through back in the back seat of a Camaro while driving it to the Bahamas. Don't forget your Motley Crue t-shirts! Cheers!
