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.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, foamy, short lived, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, nuts and ash. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, molasses, caramel, dark chocolate and day old coffee in a dry, mild bitter, metallic finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to put back.

This IPA poured a hazy medium yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include cooked veggies, straw, dough and light malt. First swig was delicious with alot of passion fruit and malt. Finish is lightly sweet with passion fruit flavours lingering.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma of mango, grains, minerals. Slightly floral. Taste is bitter the whole way through with a grainy finish. Medium to light-bodied, slightly watery texture, not the chewiness I’d like to see in a 6%+ beer, and also not exactly refreshing. In the graininess is a hint of booze. Drinkable.

Clean golden colour with a creamy slightly warm cap, good retention and lacing. Aromas of light spicy ginger with the refreshing lime background. The taste is pretty mild with the ginger and malt. Not so much spicy. A little dry in the finish, and not syrupy. Refreshing, and probably good cold on a hot summer. A little mild for a 4.6% ABV.

Mildly hazy, bright-yellow golden colour with a frothy cap, long lasting, tiny bubble carbonation and leaving some good thick foamy patches. Fruity nose blended with some notes of grassy hops. The taste is pretty hoppy with grassiness, dryness and bitterness. Hints of fruitiness left on the tongue with a tad of tart. Not as fruity as it seems. A decent IPA with hints of mango and passionfruit.
