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.

Can at home, courtesy of Ádám, köszi szépen! Pours semi-opaque golden with an instantly disappearing white head. Nose is intense chamomile, fruity esters, light spice. Taste is pretty much the same with an intense chamomile tea finish, it has a light body and flat carbonation. I'm not a fan of chamomile tbh and the carbonation was too low (especially for the stlye), but it certainly is a well rounded, solid wit.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep copper with a reddish hue and a persistent off-white head. Nose is acetic acid and funk, leathery notes, dried fruits. Taste is somewhat tart, funky, acidic, showing brett (duh) and acetic acid and hints of dried fruits, wood, an interesting spicy character that I cant really put my hands on. Closes with a funky, dry finish, has a medium to full, dry body and lively carbonation. Tasty, if a bit one dimensional.

Can at HopTop, courtesy of the crew, köszi srácok! Burgundy pour with an immediately dissipating head. Nose is intense, tart and jammy currants, it's really in your face. Taste is sour, and I mean REALLY sour, to the extent that I found myself sipping on it real slow cause I simply just weren't able to drink it, like drink-drink, in a normal pace. But at the same time I was loving every sip, it was bursting with the currants. Medium bodied with soft carbo, the ABV is very dangerously hidden. Nice.

Can at HopTop, courtesy of the crew, köszi srácok! Pours an opaque yellow colour with thin white head. Nose is light apricot and vanilla, moderately sweet. Taste is sweet lactose and vanilla, very faint booze, with hints of apricot. Closes with a lactosey sweet finish with some apricot, has a light to medium, creamy body. Decent milkshake pale, but I'm not really a fan of the style.

Tap. Az első batch-hez hasonlóan egy igazi gyümölcsbomba, jammy, savas és fanyar, igazán frissitő és intenzív. Nem érződik rajta a kisebb test, talán még jól is áll neki.

Can at home, courtesy of the HT crew. Könnyed, citrusos, kissé füves és némileg gyümölcsös ipa. Nagyon könnyed, frissítő. Nincsen különösebb baja, de semmi izgalmasat vagy érdekeset nem mutat.

Bottle shared at work, courtesy of the HT crew. Pours reddish copper with no head. Nose is sweet notes of alcohol, caramel, malts and slightly acidic and tart raspberry. Taste is also a mix of sweet and tart, sweetness deriving from the booze, bready and nutty malts and the raspberry provides a pleasantly tart and acidic balance. Nicely balanced, the body is big enough and the carbonation is soft. Well made.

Taste is sweet, showing caramel, dried fruits, nuts, molasses and booze. Closes with a sweet, warming finish, has a light to meidum body and soft carbonation. Pleasant, but somehow kinda thin.

Straight out the can. Meglepoen keves porkolt malatas karakter jon, egy laza malatasabb becsi inkabb vakon. Picit femes a korty vege, amugy rendben van.

Tap at the Hori taproom a while back. Nem keszitettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sort.
