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.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle at 'Kuzin bar'. Clear, dark reddish amber with an off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity, herbal-grassy and a bit floral aroma of tea leaves, raisins and some caramel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, herbal-grassy, slightly floral and a bit fruity taste of caramel, tea leaves, marmelade and a touch of raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite herbal-grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

hazy orange colour, practically no head at all; aroma and taste of tropical frutis, some orange and apricot...hmmmm...ok, ok, tons of added fruits (or at least huge effect of them on the aroma and taste) but where is the IPA? where are the hops? as an alcoholic (tropical)fruit coctail, it's quite ok, but as an IPA...well, even my wife has found it 'empty'; I'm really sorry to rate it much lower than its current average, but I can't give higher score...guys, please try to re-brew it without added fruits and with (much) more hops!

Bottle from E-Drinks @ home. Dark, murky amber colour with a large, chunky offwhite head. Smells hops, soapy, slightly plastic, slightly undress, some herbs. I don't want to be harsh, but it just tastes like a bad ipa. It's a bit doughy, has some vegetable stock in it, slightly soapy. Not a great ipa. Not the worst I've had though. Medium body, nice carbo.
