What better way to celebrate ten years than to bring back one of our original favorites? Hopfen (the second in our Revolution Series from 2011) is what we describe as a “Dry-Hopped IPL.” It’s brewed and dry-hopped with a variety of Hallertau “Hopfen” instead of the usual, more citric hop varieties of the U.S., giving this clean-finishing lager a decidedly German twist.

Euro2-Flasche: Golden, cloudy, big and stable rocky off-white head; spicy Saazy (even though the hops come from the Hallertau) nose, traces of Wood and vanilla and yeast in the Background; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, almost medium bodied, a bit fizzy; dryish lingering Hallertau finish, yeast still detectable. A fine brew...

(bottle) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Herbal-spicy hoppy aroma with a whiff of grass and spruce, accompanied by mildly honey-ish malty notes. Moderately bitter and delicately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with an almost creamy carbonation. Soft and mildly grainy malty base with a good dash of herbal and slightly grassy hops, lingering into the lasting bitter hoppy finish. Might be odd for the typical IPA devotees, tastes like a dry-hopped pale Bock, also Witzgall Landbier from Franconia comes to my mind. 25.VIII.14

500ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish orangey, golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma with notes of lemon and orange receives support by grassy, peppery-spicy hop notes from the Hallertauer. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, slightly sweet, juicy, fruity basis with notes of pineapple, orange, lemon, grassy, peppery-spicy hoppy overtones. It doesn’t go without some irony to sit here in Germany, drooling over any supposably flavourful US IPA reachable in order to escape from the boring German pabulum, finding oneself drinking one with "decidedly German twist". But this doesn’t mean being reverberated into Sisyphean circumstances: what we’ve got here is a nice exemplar that shows the splendid usage of a putative second order hop variety adding some well matching spiciness.
