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.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is a very nice hop and malt combo with a nice spice coming through. Flavor is very herbal and heavy. Finish is earthy and bitter. A nice take on the style and one you should seek out.

Bomber poured into an imperial pint glass - hazy orange beer, with a slight bit of froth on the top - semi-sweet, bready aroma, with some toasty qualities, a touch of gingerbread - soft carbonation - a tiny bit spicy up front, beginning more like a hoppy american pale - a biscuity british maltiness quickly tastes it’s place, as a few hops stick around, making the beer taste very bitter-like - - somewhat metallic and acidic in the middle - a bit of tangy orange flavor, a long-lingering biscuity/toasty taste, and some light cereal/grains - not really an english strong - more like a high gravity bitter.

12oz bottle pours out a amber topped with a small white head. A odd smell of some sort of fuel. A touch of hops but not very good. Thanks Indiana_red

Bottle pours a medium orange amber. Small sandy colored head. Faint fumy aroma of light malts. Flavor was bitter and sour. Harsh soapy cardboard flavors. This can’t be how it is supposed to be. Not good.

Sampled on draft at Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a dark bronze color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was moderate grassy and fruity hops. The flavor was light sweet malts and an intriguing mix of fruity and grassy hops. The hops are not overwhelmingly strong but really coat the tongue and linger. The beer is almost slick with the hops. I find myself burping up the hops later. Tasty.

On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Looks like a ubiquitous pale american lager except that it is ever so slightly darker. Fruity flowery and hops in the aroma. Initial taste is pretty hoppy and a bit peppery. That is odd because I’ve never tasted any pepper in a beer before. Interesting and unique. Be careful, this beer hides it’s alky content rather well. No carbonation. Reminds me a bit of a mild IPA in its finish.

Bracing floral hop aroma. Tickles the palate. Coppery amber color with a massive frothy head that laces. Medium bodied; light carbonation. Like it were bottle conditioned, mate. Light caramel malt sweetness, balanced by fruit and flowers. A bit gummy sweetness as the finish approached. The finish is very florally flavored and balanced. It is really very good. Mild and flavorful. Great.

Bomber purchased at Countryside Liquors Clearwater, FL for only $3.39. Seems like a steal.
Pours a light copper hue with decent off white head and lacing. The aroma is of pungent floral hops that are strong enough to put out real floral hop spiciness. It also leans toward smelling wet hopped too. I can’t pick up any malts hiding behind the hop bouquet. The taste starts with pine and floral hop bitterness. It may not be pine creating the extra bite to the bitterness but rather an intense floral spicy hop bitterness. Nicely done too. Other big floral hop beers I’ve had don’t have manage to create the balance with the aid of this unique bitter hop spice kick. Once the whole hop experience has wrapped around the tongue a few times a rich pale and slightly grainy maltiness comes to the surface to squelch out the hops. The beer ends with mild floral hop flavor and residual malt sweetness. Rather yummy, all in all. The best English type IPA I’ve tried to date.
