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.

Bottle at home, koszi Szami! Pours hazy orange with quickly disappearing white head. Nose is strong fruity, orange zest, perhaps mango and tutti frutti. Taste is lightly bitter orange peels and somewhat sweet fruity with a long lasting sweet and a tad bitter finish. Light bodied with soft carbo, super easy to drink. Refreshing but nothing extraordinary really.

Straight from the tank at the brewery, courtesy of the HopTop crew, koszi sracok! Strawberry shake colour and appearance with white head. Nose is strawberry and coconut, that classic zizi cukorka aroma. Taste is sweet lactosey strawberry upfront, sweet indeed but not overwhelming. Then some bitterness joins the party and the finish is the fairly balanced combinaton of these two, nice and round. Light creamy bodied with soft carbonation, super easy to drink. I was told there’s no coconut in there, it’s only thr Sabro dry hops but coconut is there in the description, so I’m kinda confused now. Anyway this is a pretty awesome milkshake IPA, sweet and bitter at the same time and maintains nice bapance throughout. Really great, especially considering that I fucking hate lactose in my IPA haha.

Tap at the Foodtruck Show in Győr. Orangeish golden pour with a white head. Nose is moderate hoppy. Taste is rather vague hops, some grass perhaps, citric notes and sweet malts. Closes with an abrupt finish, for the style it has a big body and soft carbo. Meh.

Can at home, courtesy of the HoptTop crew. Pours opaque golden with a white head. Nose is citrus zest, esters and some coriander. Taste is sweetish malty and grainy, there's some esters and also coriander. Kinda basic even if without major flaws. The style itself has its limitations tho, so...

Tap at Kraft, koszi Adam! Pours black with a tan head. Nose is dark malts, coffee and roasted notes with a hint of vanilla. Taste is sweetish malts upfront, I get coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate and cocoa powder. There’s a faint hint of plum and a slightly more apprent vanilla touch. Not quite sour, more like simply acidic that might as well just be the dark malts. Medium bodied with a soft to average carbonation.

Tap at Kraft, courtesy of the HT crew. Kellemes kis rauchbier, alapvetoen nagyjabol minden rendben volt vele, amin lehetett volna meg javitani szvsz: kicsit tobb test, meg tobb fust, nagyobb komplexitas es tobb jatek a malatakkal. Ezekkel egyutt is egyben van azert szepen.
