The Hoppopotamus may be gentler than its unpredictable hippo cousin, but don't let the balanced flavor profile fool you. It's full of surprises. Best appreciated from a wide mouthed glass, the aroma is bright with notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and tropical fruit. A burst of floral bitterness from the Citra and Mosaic hops is balanced by a soft sweetness from a light-handed dose of Vienna malt. Just when you think it's gonna zig, it zags. Try to keep up.

Can. Clear golden body with a frothy/fizzy white head, slowly diminishing. Hop-dominant aroma with notes of citrus, pine, grapefruit, resin, light cat pee. Some toasted grain notes in the background. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Citrus taste with pine and resin. Some sweet tropical fruit, too, but also a hint of saccharin and soap in the finish. Otherwise, crisp with a lingering bitterness.
