Hop Stoopid

Draught, The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA.
Wow. Even by West Coast standards this seemed like a BIG hoppy beast. Pour is a typical cloudy orange with a nice head and some good, sticky lace. After that…well, very little to report except in your face, piney, resinous, mouth coating hops. It’s fine but after a while this gets a little wearing. I found that one pint was just about all I wanted. Alcohol is there but is in balance. Also, the finish really was quite “puckeringly” dry and not really my cup of tea. I wasn’t sure if that was the beer as a package or just my palate’s reaction to the hop assault!
Some will love this, but if you are at all wary about massive West Coast hop bombs then this isn’t going to be your thing. Steer clear.
