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.

On tap. Hazy orange colour with white head. Vivid, overwhelming tropical fruits in aroma with the same notes in taste combined with prominent hops. It’s safe to say that, for me at least, it’s one of the best Hungarian IPAs currently. Good job.

Bottled. Pours deep amber colour with white head. Slight hops and resin, some earthy notes and malts with caramel. Fairly balanced between bitter and sweet notes, but somehow it doesnt work as a whole.

Bottled. Murky brown with no head at all. Extremely slight aroma, some biscuitsy malts, but that’s it. Its taste is likewise watery and very thin bodied. No finish, light body, some carbonation. Huge meh.

On tap @ Beer Week in Budapest, Saturday session. Hazy apperance, a finger-wide head. Moderately tart, sour and fruity. Light bodied and easy to drink, has average carbonation.

On tap @ BPBW Saturday session. Jet black, no head. Coffee, earthy notes, a faint touch of sweetness. Well made, but nothing outstanding.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep copper, thin beige head. Nose is pretty weird, moderately fruity and hoppy and there’s something in there that reminds me of butter (not dms!). Taste follows the aroma and closes withe moderately bitter finish. Although not thin, it’s surprisingly easy to drink and and has average carbo. Not bad, but quite strange.

Best before 05/24, from Amstein. Opening this small can, yesterday after to eat in one friend's house in this sad Chavannes. This one is original, malty and sweet with a clear touch of baklava, a wind of the east, sugar, toffee, regular bitterness.

Nagy, tartós, rózsaszín hab, sötétvörös szín. Finom, meggyes illat. Édes, enyhén savanykás, meggyes íz. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, nem keserű. Finom.

Kicsi, nem túl tartós hab, arany szín. Fűszeres, korianderes, enyhén narancsos illat. Fűszeres, korianderes, kissé narancshéjas ízek, a búza csak a korty végén és lecsengéskor bukkan elő. Könnyű, erősen szénsavas, enyhén kesernyés. Nem jött be.
