For my first “Side Project” beer, I thought that I would take a crisis and turn it into a beer. Brewers from around the world are having a hard time getting their hands on hops and the prices are through the roof!
With all that said, this beer (Hop Shortage Ale) has an inviting golden color with an aroma of freshly picked hops. I spared no expense on the type of hops I used.
I hope that you enjoy my first “Side Project.”
Cheers!

Bottle from theBeerCellar. Thanks! Amber color with a medium head and great lacing. Aroma of grain and subtle hops. Vegetal and citrusy hop profile in the taste. Not much sweetness. Drinkable, but could be a little better balanced.

I love these one of a kind special releases. Bomber pours deep gold with copper core and one inch light tan head. The aroma is moderate in strength containing floral, spice and a hint of bitter citrus hops. There’s also some faint malt sweetness underneath hinting at the tasty malt backbone to come in the flavor. The taste is smooth and contains even amounts of assorted hops, malt sweetness and a touch of grainy malt. To midway citrus hop bitterness builds faster than the sweet malt backbone creating a bitter grapefruit tartness that over shadows mild orange juice sweetness.
