While Hoppy Table Beer was inspired by the Belgian tradition of low-ABV, easily drinkable beers, it still occupies a hop-forward spot all its own. Brewed with our 2-row malt blend, Maris Otter malt, and oats, the beer is then spiced with a subtle addition of coriander. We ferment it with our house yeast for classic Belgian citrus aromas. Hoppy Table Beer is hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Comet, and Azacca hops, then dry hopped with more Comet and Azacca. A mildly hoppy aroma full of grapefruit springs from this straw-colored, light-bodied ale. Flavors of pine and stone fruit balance the beer’s clean, slightly bitter finish.

Hazy golden coloured body with a straw coloured glow and a nice, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, light herbal hops, a bit of wort and light yeast and some mellow grassy notes with the faintest hints of sugars - nice and dry. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours at first with a very fresh dry yeast note of flowers and grass and finishes with a mellow and noticeable hop bite that is more dry than bitter. Aftertaste is dry and very flavourful with a lot of grass and herbal notes, but some sweetness dominate near the end. Overall, a very dry and grassy beer that shows a lot of flavour and yeast complexities that makes this easy-to-drink, but still complex. Nice to sample and well worth trying to find around if you can! I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Beer Run in Charlottesville, Virginia on 26-February-2017 for US$2,75 sampled at home in Upstate New York on 08-April-2017.

12 ounce bottle. Cloudy straw good color. Large thick rocky white head. Yeasty Belgian malt nose is fragrant with a hint of citrus. Soft, silky and light bodied, with a complex hoppy character. Notes of pine and grapefruit with a bready malt backbone. Very drinkable and certainly quite enjoyable.
