Our English Style Pale Ale has toasted malt flavors dominated by hops. A fragrant, flowery aroma complements the clean, dry finish.
A fantastic lighter-style ale for the warmer weather!

I would give this one a higher rating if the title didn't contain "Hoppin'" in it. Its not bad for a English Pale but I couldn't detect anything particularly hoppy, more sweet and winter spice aromas. I'll go with a trout red next time.

Orangish and clear. Tons of active carbonation. Huge head. Smells weird. Funky. Sour. No date on the bottle. Maybe old or mistreated? Hop profile seems tainted. (I hope, cause it sucks). This brew seems more like a pilsner. A poor one. Underwhelming, not enjoyable. Damn. Its been a bad beer tasting night, I need a Two Hearted to wash this one down.

A- Honey colored body with a very thin white head that disappears quickly.
S- Toasted pale malt, almost a pilsner like aroma.
T- Really just some toasted malt with a lager flavor in the back. Not a whole lot going on.
M- Light bodied, medium carbonation, pretty drinkable.
O- Not very good. Not a whole lot going on.
