Description
The HopTop Brewery Ltd. was formed in the fall of 2015 to create various high quality craft beers for the increasing number of beer lovers. As it so happens, our brewery is located in the former Royal Brewery plant, so we can return a little bit of tradition to this area.

Kicsi, tartós hab, barna szín. Teás, narancsos, kissé fűszeres illat. Kissé édeskés, teás, narancsos ízek, némi fűszeres beütéssel. Közepesen testes, alig szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Ipának kissé visszafogott, de finom sör, jól eltalált ízesítéssel.

On tap at Budapest Beer Festival, pours an opaque cloudy pale golden yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of lacto, with light salt, and juicy mangoes. Flavour is very fruity, with a great mix of salt, lacto and citrusy mango pithy fruitiness. Very lacto-y, with adequate salt and a great fruitiness. Excellent.

On tap at Budapest Beer Festival, pours a cloudy bright amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some slight metallic notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite bitter and a little metallic, with bitter piney hops, biscuity malt, and metallic notes. Bitter and metallic on the finish too, but it's not bad.

On tap at Budapest Beer Festival, pours a cloudy, opaque filthy orange with a small white head. Nose is quite yeast and fruity, with citrus hops, tropical fruits, and yeast. Flavour is quite yeasty and pithy, with earthy hops, tropical pithy fruits, and biscuity malt. Quite yeasty and pithy, a bit too much so, but the fruitiness increases the drinkability. Decent.
