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.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly cloudy straw with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of sweet wheat, earthiness and light spice. Flavor has earthy wheat with some sweetness and a bit of light spice underlying.

Tap @ Urban Chestnut. Pours a milky yellow brownish yellow appearance with a white head. Big juicy pineapple, herbal, a bit woody aroma. Bright tropical fruity hoppy, fairly dry, kind of chewy, herbal flavor. Pretty cool.

On tap at the brewhouse and one of my favourites of the day. Lots of crisp floral aroma and flavor really are the standout of this beer. Another unique and tasty creation from UCBC.

Pour is an orange with a large white head. Aroma was of citrus hops and some pale malt. Flavor is again a nice blast of fresh citrus hops and a soild malty backbone. I thought this would have been more of an english style IPA with the use of European hops but this is as piney/grapefruity then an American IPA.

A few glasses from a growler filled 6 days previous at the brewery tasting room in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is copper orange, with a bit of an off white head. Initial aroma is lemon pineapple citrus hops, along with straw and earthiness from the Hallertau, followed by some cereal malt. Fresh nose, really unique - don’t remember ever smelling anything near this. The very different hop varieties are having a bit of a battle, and each sniff seems different. The taste is lemon pineapple citrus, quite bitter, along with the herbal and earthiness. Very difficult taste to describe, really having a hard time describing. Palate is medium, a bit of a lingering bitterness. I really appreciated the uniqueness of this beer, but really was happy with just a single glass.
