Troegs Brewery Harrisburg PA. I picked up this beer in Harrisburg on a work trip specifically for this blog. Troegs is an independent craft brewery started by two brothers. They have a great story about learning about brewing beer and deciding if they should open a brewpub or just a brewery, and if it should be in Denver a town full of Brew Pubs or back in there home state of Pennsylvania.
The beer is a beautiful amber color with a steady flow of bubbles from the bottom. The in the first smell the hops are pronounced, with a green grassy smell. I love the smell of this beer I could smell it all day. It's an Amber Ale and not an IPA so the hops is less pronounced in the taste than the smell. The taste is full of hops but I think too much bitterness and not enough complexity. A remaining bitterness at the back of the throat is felt. The bitter throat makes this a hard beer to drink too many of. If I was going back to the fridge for another beer I think I would skip this one and select something less bitter.
