Glass on tap at Beer Bar North Island. Served in a shaker half pint. Slightly hazy golden yellow with a nice shiny white head. Hints of grass, lemon zest, pine and jasmine floral notes on the nose. Medium body and thin on the palate with a nice dry finish. Solid session IPA that doesnβt get boring. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hop Tea Sorachi Ace Ver. on 30 Mar 2015 at 15:19 - Score: 7

light Amber color. Tons of Citra hops. Malty body, a fair amount of citra in mouth, but I got bottom of keg. I can imagine it would be great if I had a fresh version.

On tap at Yellow Ape. Hop Tea from North Island is a 4.4% sorachi ace single hop session IPA that pours a slight opaque gold with a foamy white head. The hop bouquet is musty pine & lemon, pretty interesting. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation the taste is indeed somewhat tea like with floral notes, lemoney nutmeg & funky cheese. Quite an odd flavor combination but not really unpleasant. Decent, that bitterness really creeps up on you.

Lovely Amber color. Sweet malty nose with a touch of caramel. The mouth is very malty smooth, tons of bready and caramel notes. Not too sweet. Nice stuff. Not up to top German examples, but still a solid solid example of the style.

Deep red color. Nice nose of dried strawberries and caramel. A lot of body which makes me thinking is much stronger. Tons of hops. Excellent backbone. Lots of caramel and dried strawberries. Smooth as hell. Really nice beer.

5.5% on tap at Bungalow. It pours a dark cola black with ruby highlights and a light beige creamy looking head. A malty sweet aroma with roast coffee bean notes. Med-full bodied with a spritzy carbonation. The taste is flavorful roasted savory dark chocolate with a bit of bitterness. Easy drinking but quite satisfying. A solid stout.
