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.

0.33 l bottle feom Beers and Books. Nice DIPA, well made but nothing extraordinary. The ABV is quite well hidden, not too heavy and easily drinkable.

Bottle from the HopTop guyz, big thanks! Pours black with long lasting beige head. Nose is narancsos szalocukor, some ginger. Taste is citrompótló, unbalanced sourness. Light body, average to high carbonation. Nay.

Can at work, courtesy of the HopTop crew, thanks a lot! Pours hazy yellow with white head. Nose is citric notes, low sweetness, white grapes. Taste is moderately sweet and somewhat bitter notes of tutti frutti, citruses, some white grapes again and a light coconut touch. Closes with short finish, has light body and soft carbonation. I barely got any Sabro from in there and the body was pretty empty, perhaps not too shockingly, considering the style.

Can at home, köszi Ádám! Pours hazy golden with a white head. Nose is citrus zest, light grass and faint mandarin perhaps, promising but rather vague. Taste is pretty much the same, citric and somewhat grassy bitterness, so far so good, but body-wise it's way too thin, even for the ABV, and it gaves the otherwise promising beer a kinda empty feeling. Oh well.

Can at home, köszi szépen Ádám! Opaque golden pour, basically no head. Nose is dank hops, tropical fruits and candy, citrus zest and a touch of pine even. Taste is sweet, fruity and dank hops, a boozy touch, then some bitterness appears that balances the sweetness nicely. Closes with a long lasting bittersweet finish, it has a full body and no carbonation. Like literally. I usually prefer beers with lower CO levels, but this is borderline too low even for me and it also emphasises the huge body. Apart from this, it's highly enjoyable tho, well done.

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.
