A-10 Hophog Red IPA
Copperpoint Brewing Company

 

 

From a 12 oz can into a pint glass, it's a clear reddish color with a small white cap and collar of foam with good retention. Nose is bready with citrus and pine scented hops and some peppery spiciness. In the mouth there's lots of sweet malt with citrus and pine hops to counterbalance the sweetness. Ends on a dry, bitter note. Mouthfeel is a bit thin but is crisp and quenching. Overall, good, a bit on the sweeter side of IPAs though there's solid bitterness in there as well. Would try again.

12oz can served in a tulip. Canned on 10/31/23. @Mr3DPHD sent it to me.

Pours a hazy mahogany with a smallish head, not much carbonation. Head turns into a thin skin of fine bubbles with a pile in the middle. Smell is citrus, pine resin, maybe a hint of toffee or nuts.

Taste is way toward the toffee and caramel sweetness, offset by the citrus and pine resin. Deep bitterness follows late in the taste.

Mouthfeel is thickish, in a satisfying way. I'm enjoying this beer a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried this beer at the brewery with HomeBrew as part of a four sample flight. It poured a clear rich amber with thin white head that left a spotty lace. The scent had subtle malt and subtle bitter hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base and subtle bitter hop finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

 

Poured a reddish copper body with minimal head and lace down glass. The aroma is hoppy with notes of citric and also some bitter citric hops and not much malts. Enough malts in beer to keep it medium-bodied and slightly sweet under a sharp citric bitterness and citric hoppiness. Enjoyable beer although a tad dry for my liking.

 

Awesome aroma. Slightly cloudy bronze with little head leaving faint lacing. Resin hop flavor balanced by smooth malty goodness. I really like this and want to get some more.
