Like California sunshine in a bottle, Hop Cuvée radiates a golden hue with brilliant clarity and bright effervescence. It is a crisp, citrusy and tropical ale with a touch of pine-like bitterness and a clean, dry finish. Refreshing and sessionable, Hop Cuvée satisfies both hop lovers and craft beer newbies. (5.5% abv 50 IBUS).

Clear golden coloured body with only a hint of a light tan head and no movement at all. Nice fresh smell of hops, earth, funk, barnyard scents, hay, grass and yeast - a very fresh smell throughout with some fresh hops in the mix. Light-bodied; Sharp grassy flavour up front with a deep earhy and yeast kick, all with some lighter hops finishing up the beer. Aftertaste shows some grassy notes, a hint of citrus, a little bit of sweetness and a largely strong barnyardie flavour that persists. Overall, a decent APA with more grassy and herbal notes than I’d expect, but not in a bad way. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Falls Church (Tyson’s Corner), Virginia on 15-July-2014 for US$2,49 sampled at my brother-in-law’s house in Raleigh, North Carolina at 02-August-2014.

Bottle at America Strikes Back, Ulfborg. Pours hazy amber with small off-white head. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with notes of citrus and touches of grass. Bitter and slightly acidic finish. Decent.

12oz bottle pours with a hazy copper to gold body that supports a thin near white head. The aroma offers up malt sweetened pine hops and sweet citrus hard candy with floral hops in the background. The taste is similar with a thin Great Divide Old Ruffian malty resiny pine hop start. It then meanders into tangelo and clementine sweetened hard candy like hoppiness. There’s a mild sweet maltiness in the background to give this some base. Interest malt and hop mixture for a Pale and it lacks the crisp snappiness I enjoy in the style.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a large fizzy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of nuts, caramel, stone fruits, tea. The taste is earth, herbal hops, toasted malts, mild nuttiness and caramel, mildly tart fruits and lingering hops return in the back end. Medium bodied.
