Into the Wild
Lops Brewing Co.

A moderate pour from a 16-oz. can produced a fat finger of white foam, larger bubbles at the rim with a creamy center.
Long retention leads to arches of lacing. Very cloudy dark pineapple juice color, semi-opaque.

Pine and citrus greet the nose, bread, toast and cracker in the background. Alcohol is faint with a hint of grassy funk.

Semi-dry with above average bitterness, the taste is boldly hoppy. Citrus juice flavor is king, big taste of lightly toasted pale malt. Bitterness rises as the pine returns with some resin, a mild alcohol astringency is noticeable and warming. Toasted wheat appears with a general graininess and wet grass. The finish is on the quick side but the aftertaste lingers with a peppery/piney bitterness.

Medium body (oats?) with plentiful carbonation, almost smooth and deceptively drinkable. The brewer threw a lot of hops at this one, and balanced it with a rich body. New England style.
