32 oz growler filled at Hop and Hound. I’m actually having a bit of fun with this series. Looking back at notes, all seem to have their distinct qualities. I just wish they were all released at the same time so I could run a blind flight of them and quiz myself on all this hop knowledge. I wouldn’t put any money on my performance there. I’m not at the point to where I can really say I love or hate any specific hop, but getting a good idea starts with a beer like this. Hazy golden pour with a foam lingering head. Less than pleasant, sweaty hop aroma. Spicy dominant malt here, with very little hop impression keeping up with it. Subtle grassy hop shows up, juicy, and lacks any real bitterness. Has a vegetal quality as well. Not sold on this version of the single hop. Quite lackadaisical as an IPA overall.
