Stonehenge is a mystery. Hop Henge is a discovery. Millennium, Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops come together.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver; May 2018
Cloudy golden colour with creamy head. Soft, creamy, moderaty sweet; it has some vegetable note, strong orange peel character; maybe not very fresh, or maybe this concept of IIPA is surpassed in 2018.
Ok beer.

Hop Henge came to me from the Total Wine in Santa Fe some weeks ago. My bottle says best by 6/7/18, oh well, missed that, and 8.3% ABV. I pour into my New Belgium globe glass and see a cloudy orange-yellow body finished by a wispy, mostly white top. A smell now, citrus and grass, pretty decent. A taste follows, orange, pine needles, grapefruit, a subdued hoppiness, Been burned out on IPAs lately, Hop Henge brings me back. Well done.

2018 version. 8.3%. 90 IBU. Pretty legit numbers for a six pack beer. Old school Cascade tone, big and resinous. A real blast from the past, a true NW feel. I don't really enjoy the aroma, sort of burnt diesel hops, but the taste is nice. Respectable enough offering at $8.99 a sixpack.

Bottle pour from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Appearance is yellow-dark orange with large, dark floaties, no sparkle, decent head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is floral, fruity, light citrus, malt backbone. Taste is as aroma. Palate is medium bodied, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with late light bitterness. Overall, good but not fantastic and not terribly unique.

Bottle from ABC Store in Oahu back home in HK. Slightly translucent pour with puffy white head that has some sticky lacing. Aroma is deep juicy resin and woody malt. Taste is deeply woody and resinous bitter, familiar but unique mixture. Sturdy slightly biscuity bready malt. Deep bitter finish with alcohol warmth. Very nice.

$2.10 bottle, Wine Warehouse. Best by 4/4/18. 8.3%, 90 ibu. Pours slightly hazy golden-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is citrus, somewhat stale-smelling hops. Flavor is orange and grapefruit peel, orange flesh, pine, caramel malt. Bitter, but am surprised by the 90 ibu - doesn't seem that bitter. Good overall.
