Hop Henge
(has 7 batches)

Pours a lightly hazy copper - large but poorly retained head - loads of tropical fruits in the nose, but the hops also add some peppery and herbal character - pale malt sweetness underneath this - a nice mixture of hop flavors up front, but there is way too much crystal malt sweetness in this one - it become syrupy at times, especially as it warms - it’s a shame, because those hops sure are tasty, they just overdid it with the malt.

Hazy orange with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with oranges, hops and piney notes. Hoppy flavour with pine, grapefruits and pine notes. Finished bitter. Nice one.

Draught. Poured orange with thick white head much lacing. Powerful hop aroma with citrus, especially tangerine and sweet orange. Big hop flavour, when they call this a hop bomb, they are serious. Lasting hop flavour. This was almost too hoppy.
