Hoptopia is Hermitage Brewing Company’s flagship IPA. This amber colored beer has a great aroma that is a mixture of piney, citrus, and floral hop notes. This hop forward beer has a piney hop flavor, mixed in with some grapefruit-like character, and balanced by a toasted malt flavor with hints of caramel. Hoptopia is a well balanced IPA that is remarkably approachable and easy drinking.

Bright clear gold beer, good white head. Palate is light, semi dry and a mild fine crispness. Light malts, touch of lactose - cream sweetness. Hops are a nice combo of cooling pine, almost minty, hop spice, ripe tropical fruits. Light semi dry finish. Nicely joined up.

pisane z pamięci więc może być trochę niedokładne. zapach intensywny, chmiel, cytrusy, słodowe nuty. kolor ciemnego złota, lekko zmętnione. piana dość skąpa i nie za trwała. w smaku dużo ciała, ale i spora goryczka, ziołowo grapefruitowa. czuć nuty karmelowe.
