"Clean this mess up or else we'll all end up in jail...those test tubes and the scale...just get 'em all outta here..." He was referring to the complex super-critical-CO2 hop extraction equipment set up on the table in the lab across from the brewhouse. Hop extracts are for the BIG brewers, he thought - suitable only for crummy sub-standard and barely-passable industrial lagers, not the subtle and elegant craft beer made here. But wrong he was. The New Brewer does not eschew any possible inputs. In this case the mountain of extracts will replace the mountain of hop vegetative material in the kettle thus creating cleaner hop flavors and preventing the otherwise spinach-like mess of a kettle full of super-hopped wort from clogging up a pump or worse. The sensuous honey-like amber ooze was administered intravenously to the wort kettle and the sacrament was complete. Another kettle of Hop Stoopid is once again raised up and fermented on high

Tons of citrus and some pine. Good malt backbone. Pours golden amber with pillow of head. Very bitter. Booze well hidden. Slick mouthfeel. Good mouthful of beer, and even better price. Bottle from Whole Foods.

650ml bottle. (As Lagunitas Hop Stoopid) Pours a clear, amber-orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Big, hoppy aroma of grapefruit, tropical fruit and caramel malt. Sweet flavour of grapefruit, peach, orange, mango, caramel malt and grass with a long, bitter, dry, resiny finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A name that delivers! Nice!

Tap. Black Swan, Leeds. Hazy, dark gold. Bubbly, thick, lasting, pale cream coloured head. Beautifully fresh, rich, sweet, tropical fruit. Loads of peach and passion fruit. Behind that there’s a lovely, dank, leafy resin character. Big, sweet biscuit, grainy malts too. Smells fantastic. Taste is rich sweet, turning fruity, zesty, piny bitter. Smooth, full palate. Soft carbonation. Finishes long, resinous bitter, with a lip sticking sweet close. Lovely.
