Hoppy Birthday is known as “The world’s most celebrated beer.” A Pale Ale, it benefits from a heavy dose of dry-hopping and is truly a gift to the senses. This bold brew has an intense hop-bitterness, but the pine aroma is the star of the show.

Tap at RnH, NYC. Slightly hazy golden color, small steady white head, lace. Aroma is resiny. Light to medium-bodied. Grapefruity, hop oily bitter flavor with good drinkability. Long grapefruity aftertaste. Good.

Lots of citrus, hay. Very bitter finish. Great package, especially for a pale ale. Pours hazy orange with good head and lacing. Some lime as well. Good stuff. Tap at Rattle N Hum, NY.

On draught at Good Karma in San Jose. Clear golden color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, herbal hops and malt. Light-bodied with a zesty grapefruit character and notes of grassy hops and toasted malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy hops aftertaste. Solid beer all around.

Keg at Coin-Op Game Room, SD, 12/11/14. Hazed orange amber with a big old off white covering with exceptional retention. Looker ! Nose is lightly skunked hops, pine, bitter citrics, sticky tropicana, orange pith, light floral notes. Taste comprises bitter grapefruit, pine, light skunk, orange pith, mandarin, perfect citricanic balance. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close. Class in a glass ! Top draw APA, easy crushing hop juice.

On tap @ Good Karma San Jose. Pours a golden appearance with a cream colored head. Lemony, spicy, grapefruity hoppy nose. Nice body. Juicy, tropical fruity flavor. Dank weed, spicy hoppy flavor. Pretty high bitterness. Chuggable.
