#227 Arcadia Ales - Hop Rocket

This is a special release from Arcadia, I think this is their 11th anniversary beer. There does not see to be anything about the beer on the company's web site.

This beer has a pronounced hop aroma, with citrus and floral flavors. The color is a light orange or brown and clear. The head is thick and white with good retention.

There is a lot of hop flavor in this beer, it tastes green unripe fruit with lots of floral flavors mixed in. This is a hint of sweetness that adds to the fruit taste, and helps balance the hops. There is some bitterness present, less than expected for a beer with this much hops. The mouthfeel is effervescent and carbonated without much body. The finish is floral hops and a touch of sweetness.

This is a really tasty beer for someone who likes hops. Too often hoppy beer have a lot of hop taste without any subtle flavors jut hops, this beer has a good hop flavor of fruit and a floral taste. It might be hard to drink too many of these with so much hops, it might become over powering.
