Hop Puddin'
Amplified Ale Works

Pretty dang tasty beverage right here. Lightly hoppy, a little sweet and just the right thickness. It actually does taste like pudding. Nice collab between Thunderhawk and Amplified. Hope they keep making this.

this was my favorite beer we had here out on the beautiful patio at amplified. its a coconut ipa, but to call it an ipa i think is a stretch, this is much more about the natural coconut and the vanilla than it is about any hops, and there is no bitterness whatsoever here. its got a little haze to it from the tap, with a nice white head on it and some lace as i drink on it. the nose is copious amounts of fresh shaved coconut, fleshy and sweet and nutty, not toasted or cooked at all to me, more fresh from the tree, even a coconut water character to it. there are some melony and citrusy hops to this, but fully in service of the coconut, as well as some obvious vanilla, but not too much or too sweet there. the flavor is amazing, the coconut bursts forth from this wonderfully, so fresh and bold, its beachy and delicious without being overdone or forced. its refreshing and even healthy tasting to me, so summery, perfect with the view of the ocean from their patio, and i just cant believe the thing is 8% abv, its dry and light in feel and drinks more like a single than a double! the vanilla is great with the coconut and never makes this desserty, the hops keep a nice fresh living element in here, and the carbonation is super high, so it moves along nicely. this is killer beer, a brilliant use of coconut in a way i havent really seen before. amplified is positively slaying it right now, this is a gem!
