Description
At Hop City, we create beer that inspires the curious, and fuels the restless.
We embrace the journey as much as you do. We take risks, make wrong turns, and just go for it.
For us, it’s about believing in curiosity. Because even though it may have killed the cat, before he died, that cat probably had a pretty good time.

Glass-bottle. Malty nose with hints of grain. Brown in the glass. The beer starts malty, slightly sweet. Smooth and highly drinkable. Quite fresh. Slightly sourish in the mainpart, the beer continues smooth and malty. The aftertaste is medium, nearly no hops, malty-sweetish and smooth.
--> Nice session beer. Not too deep but nice malty and not too flat in aroma. --> 12/13/11/10

355ml bottle. Clear, reddish amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Malty aroma, hints of red berries, a some malt-spiciness, a nuttily touch. Taste is minimally sweet malty with a nuttily touch, hints of red berries, a dry touch of fruit parings, hoppy overtones. Balanced, aromatic, nice.

Looks fairly thick from a bottle. Slightly darker than pale ale, almost a little orange. Smell is somewhat old lager aroma. Strong bitter beverage from the start, even a little astringent. Not clean hops bitter, something else. Yes, bitter backbone on this, almost like chewing on plastic er sumthin. Does seem to have a higher abv than what is listed here. Yes, way too much sharp bitter personality for this lager lover. Long bitter astringent finish in the back of yer throat does not leave for a while. Not impressed.

Bottle. A solid if unspectacular amber. Nothing wrong here but not flavorful and just sits there.

Bottle, 5%. Buttery aroma. Clear amber colour. Small off-white head. The flavour also starts a little buttery, turns spicy, perhaps from the hops, and finishes on a sour grainy note.

Bottle. Pours clear tea amber with small off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit, malt, and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with malty and fruity notes and a touch of yeast. High carbonation. Sour-sweetish aftertaste. An OK amber lager, even though I am not a great fan of this beer style.
