Most people are familiar with India Pale Ales and West Coast IPAs, but now it's our turn to brand that cattle. And that cattle's name is Hopston. This hoppy brew is approachable and balanced; enjoyable year round and perfectly suited for the hot Texas summer. You're welcome and, yes, you may have another.

Can. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has pine and grains with a hint of resin and citrus rind underlying. Flavor has bitter pine with slightly earthy grains with a hint of bread backing.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy amber with medium creamy off white head that lasts. The aroma is pine and citrus. Medium mouth, pine, dank, bready malt, light bitterness, good.

Draft - Skunky hops and a bit of citrus. Clear copper with a rich white head. Lite pine and lots of resin without the harsh bitterness. Pithy finish. Decent but not as clean or refreshing as I would want.

The Petrol Station, Houston tap: Pours a sort of copper-golden color with a white head. Aroma is some citrus and pine with a discernible malt backbone. Taste is bitter, but in a generally controlled way. Nice dry finish. Hops are not particularly interesting flavors here, but they do create a nice little sharp IPA.
