This beer has a sharp hop aroma, which is a nice change for the last few beers. There is a hint of malt sweetness in the smell, but mainly hop aroma. An yellow amber color that I don't think is the prettiest colored beer. There is a nice head of foam but no bubble coming up from the bottom.
The hoppy smell comes through in the taste. The hops are bitter and not the very floral. This beer has an almost soapy taste. I can only taste the slightest malt sweetness, the bitter hops are the strongest characteristic in the taste. The mouth feel is very foamy and bitter, not sticky like some hoppy beers.
This is a tasty beer, but not the greatest. I think it is a little too hoppy for a plain Ale, it could almost be an Indian Pale Ale. I think this beer uses the same hops as the Allendale IPA that I didn't like, I get the same soapy taste and bitter finish, this is a better beer that the Allendale. I would like to know if they are using the same hops so I can know to stay away from that type.
