We heap the hops into each batch of our Thunderhead IPA. A golden nectar with a striking floral aroma, Thunderhead holds a harmonious balance between its bold hop bitterness and subtle malt backbone.

A slightly hazy golden beer with a thin disappearing white head. The aroma is lovely sweet with notes of caramel, grass, and hops. The flavor is dry hoppy with a hint of grass, combined with notes of caramel and hints of alfa acid. Nice one, thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Blast of hops greets the nose, some lemon rind, but mostly spicy. Biscuity malts lie in the background. Hop flavors dominate, mainly a peppery spice and resin. Again, biscuity malt flavors are there, but don’t really do anything except tie together the hop components leading to a bitter finish. Faded copper color, medium head.

bottle - Pours up a thin head with an expected hoppy aroma. It looks alright. The main disappointment here is that the flavor, while fairly hoppy as one would expect from the style, doesn’t have anything else going on. It was too light and just seemed lacking. That said, it had a nice, hoppy finish and was pleasantly warming.

Pour is a orange with no head. Aroma is average at best. There are hops in there so all is good. Flavor is a bit different for an IPA. Along with the mix of hops is a strong berry taste. An interisting mix to say the least. Malts make and apperance at the swallow. A very and different brew.

Bottle. Amber colored beer with a medium white head. Aroma of pine and citrus, but not as much as many IPA’s. Body tingles a bit and has some carbonation. Flavor has a rich malt backbone with a nice bitterness to it that lingers - otherwise your typical tar and citrus with a hint more of the alcohol. Not bad - and probably their best beer, but there are better breweries.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a cloudy golden amber color with a small foamy yellow-white head. The aroma had moderate grapefruit and pine. Sour flavor with strong hoppy notes - again grapefruit and pine. Long hoppy finish. Medium body. Solid.

Paid $1.59 for a 12-oz single. Cloudy golden amber, very small white head, but the head lasts. Hoppy & slightly skunky smelling, a hint of citrus, but it almost smells unbalanced to me. Yea, the taste is kinda unbalanced, but not horribly. Really hoppy up front, citrus in the middle, and then back to hoppiness, followed by a slightly skunky aftertaste. Uhhh... I don't know what to say about it's drinkability. It's definitely not a beer for me, but I'll finish it.
