"Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution."

Draft at Slowbeer, Fitzroy. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is dry malt, light citrus fruit, resin woody alcohol hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a somewhat smooth malty fresh fruit woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A great example of the style with well hidden alcohol.

Bottle sample @ Borefts 2016. Shared with RB Belgian crew. Tks Tim. BB 08/2017. Léger doré/orange, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez finement houblonné, tropical avec un léger rétro-nasal résineux. Palais est malté, caramel, petite note huileuse venant des houblons, pointe de chaleur des 8.5% avec un caractère restant cependant plus centrée sur le malt.
