Lake Hopper
56 Brewing

From a 16oz can. Canned on 02/19/2026.

Pretty damn clear looking, just a faint hint of murkiness to the beer. Nice dark golden color tobthe beer. There's a 2 finger white head. The head retention is great. There's some damn good lacing on the glass
The aroma is a bit light, but not too light. I do get pine hop notes here. I ger faint citrus along with an earthy hint.
Right away the flavor leans toward citrus. I get some pineapple notes. There's a faint hint of dank, but it is light, and it fades. The finish has a nice pine hop hit, and a bit of bitterness to finish it off.
The body does have a clingy nature to it with the feeling. There is a good depth to the body.
I have never had anything from this brewery in the past that I can remember. I am impressed with this beer. Great beer in the west coast style.

 

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of resinous pine, toasted caramel and rich maltiness. Very malty and sweet with citrus and a piney bitterness.

16oz can dated 01/03/23. Unfiltered haze appearance. Aroma of orange marmalade with a herbal, grassy bent. Moderate bitterness from the hops but still sweetness present. Hard to pinpoint exactly the hops flavors present but I will say citrus with a heavy dose of herbal influence. Solid body with a smoothly textured carbonation. The highlight drinking this beer.
