Yeah, it’s that good! HFS is our GABF 2016 Bronze medal winner in the Strong Ale category. This West Coast-style American IPA is light bodied and full of hop flavor and aroma. It pours a pale gold with a light, fluffy, off-white head. Featuring a combination of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra hops, HFS presents a bold tropical fruit explosion with hints of grass and pine balanced by a light and bready malt character.

Tap sample at 2015 RateBeer Best festival. Pours lightly hazy golden with a medium off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is hella dank and potty, some resin and tropical notes, but really dank forward. Flavor is medium bitter, light sweet, kinda harsh actually. Medium body.

On tap at De Garde, pours a hazy yellow with a large white foamy head. Aroma brings out piney and herbal hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is super piney and hoppy, with a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Wonderfully balanced, with a smooth piney palate. Excellent.
