Be Hoppy
Wormtown Brewery

An IPA just as I like them.. moderate to high bitterness, enormous citrus/floral bouquet, well-balanced hop flavor, all packaged into a very pale, dry beer: maltiness is very restrained, with none of sweetness that I generally find very conflicting in this style. Extremely drinkable.

This is a great American IPA that is worthy of notice, certainly one of the very best being made in New England right now.

 

Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass; no birth date. Opaquish dark yellow with two fingers of foamy head; great retention. Bitter hops with subtle floral and citrus notes... not overpowering on either side. Very good.

 

 

From a 16oz can dated 11/1/22 into a 12oz hotel glass.

Pours a translucent yellowish orange with about one finger of white head. Ok retention, great lacing.

Aroma is straight-up marijuana, dirt, pine and citrus rind. Like hanging out in a crawlspace.

Taste follows but stronger than the nose. Bitter pine and resin, grass and a touch of earth.

Sticky, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel. Strong bitter aftertaste. Low carbonation.

For a "smaller" abv IPA, this one knocks it out of the park. Very nice job, Wormtown!

 

 

 

This beer was terrific. I had it at a restaurant and had to hunt it down. I will say the bitterness started to get to me by night five. It’s very bitter. But delicious and the head is creamy. I would definitely buy it again or grab it at the bar but I don’t think it’d be my nightly drinker. However it makes me want to try their other offerings. I lean toward a west coast IPA In preference and this was one of the better ones I had.

 

 

 

 

Poured from a tap into pint glass in May 2022. I bought this at a restaurant/bar in NH.

Appearance: Light gold color with 2-finger white head. It is deep with a moderately hazy complexion, like many IPAs. Head is very thick, and it lasts a minute, leaving a small covering. There is a medium amount of lacing on the glass.

Smell: Strong aroma of hops, as well as some citrus, pine, and pineapple. The hops aroma dominates the other aromas.

Taste: Bitter taste from the hops with a moderate sweetness like citrus. There is more bitter edge and less citrus flavors than many other IPAs. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium body. Average alcohol, which matches the 6.5% listed on their website.

This is a good IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. I like the overall balance, and would buy this again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a frosty golden-yellow with one finger of dense, white foam. Great lacing. Aroma is pine, resin, earthy hops with a bitter, piercing bite at the end. Old school IPA hop aroma. Flavor profile is resin, pine, earthy hops and biscuity, bready malts. Hops are the focal point, but shy enough to give the malt some play. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a crisp texture. Overall, old school hop profile with a bitter bite.

Draft.

 

 

 

 

This offer was a bit too bitter in style for me. Also seemed to miss craft depth for me, more commercial quality and thin on style. Might have gotten hold of sub-par batch as this one seems highly ranked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, seems like a typical IPA. Rather noticeable bitterness right off the first taste, grapefruit aromas and flavors. Decent aftertaste. Smell isn’t too impressive, but it’s something. Looks are average

Decent IPA you can get on tap at many bars. Tastes of grapefruit and... well, hops. No beating around the bush, it's an IPA and not for those who can't tolerate a little bitterness. Looks very cloudy in the glass, a medium yellow color, almost looks like apple juice but a little lighter. If you're looking for great hops Be Hoppy lives up to the name.

 

From can marked: PKG 12/08/20

Poured into my tulip glass this IPA is an ever so slightly hazed straw gold with a three finger cake-like off-white head. Excellent lacing - glass is fully paneled.

Scent is muddled tropical fruits, soap, grapefruit and a touch of pine.

Taste is tropical fruit with a sharp piney bitterness. Grapefruit. Pepper. Spicy hop notes. Nice stout bitterness. Malts are constrained to a light biscuity presence. Hops are clearly the focus here. Nice balance of sweet sticky tropical fruits and sharp pungent bitterness.

Mouth is oily and medium full.

Great IPA in what I'd consider the West Coast style.
