Introducing Cold Hop British-style ale, a unique ale with a rich golden hue, and the 7th release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers. Cold Hop’s pleasantly fruity, floral hop aroma and earthy flavor perfectly balance the mild sweetness of the English grains, resulting in a refreshing yet high-gravity British-Style ale.

Hazy deep blond color. Pungent passion fruit aroma. Medium body, with a good toffee flavor, no sweetness, but quite good resiny and fruity hop. Bitter final, but with less emotions. Less interesting than all the European beers with Nelson Sauvin, but still peasant.

Barley and wheat bread nose. Clear amber, headless. Burst of grapefruit flavor with a touch of lime. Some orange peel finish too. Rather like Mountain Dew beer, if that makes sense, just malty and more bitter. The hops are there and in full effect.

12oz bottle. Orange-tan with a slight haze. Minimal thin head. Very nice hoppy aroma, lots of citrus and pine. Solid bitterness on top of a respectable toasty malt backbone. The hops almost have a cooling effect, very refreshing. Sort of a hybrid of a West Coast IPA and an English Bitter. I have to agree with Lubiere below me, there is a slight green pepper taste as well, of course steeped in hoppy goodness. A good beer, well worth a try.

Light coppery color with a beige head that leaves lacing. Really nice citrus smell. Taste is full of citrus and hops. Medium bodied. Tastes like an IPA more or less. Pretty good, but nothing that is really unique.

Bottle. Hazy amber body with a small, frothy off-white head that disappears. Light aroma of toasted grain and flowers with a hint of dough and a slight whiff of amonia. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter, but it finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, lively carbonation and a smooth texture that turns thick, chewy. Grainy/husky taste that’s not very clean.

Trade with FlssmrBrewAlum, 12 oz bottle. Nice beery smell when I pop the cap, heavy on malts. Pours a somewhat amber and hazy pale ale color, very little head, but I did pour more slowly down the side than usual. A deep smell has suggestions of an antique pine drawer. Totally silly, but that’s what comes to mind. Taste is a little thick in texture, but not syrupy. One of the few "extreme" pale ales where the malt actually beats down any amped up hop load. Some nutty malt sweetness, a backing of orange, slight show of grass and vanilla. A fine beer overall.
