On-tap at the 2014 Hopocalypse release. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pale lightly cloudy yellow urine color with a faint bubbly white collar of a head.
S: Same hop profile as hopocalypse but very muted, pale and faint. Mild pine and citrus rind.
T: Tons of crackery malt come through. Very fresh and crisp tasting but it’s got a low hop profile. Smells like the grain spent after a brew session, which I guess it is. Definitely crackery and crispy tasting with biscuit malt and dough in finish. Not much hops, but some nice pine and faint citrus pith poke through.
M: Fuzzy carbonation, light body and light and smooth mouthfeel.
O: Nose is crackery and almost all malt. Pretty light even from a pale ale stand point. There’s nothing offensive about this beer, and I definitely wouldn’t mind drinking a good amount of it on a hot day or with a meal, but as a standalone beer, it’s nothing special.
