Sample at the Hoof Hearted Brewpub and Kitchen. The beer pours a hazy bright yellow color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a dense film. Sticky small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, wheat, malt and hops. Medium body with flavors of pithy citrus, wheat, hops and malt. The finish is fruity with a citrusy hops and wheat aftertaste. Pretty good hybrid beer overall.

Can thanks to Andrew. Pours a hazy yellow with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is clove, lemon zest, wheat, some funk. Thin mouth, light spice, wheat, funky, fruity hop, light finish, very good.

The beer is a light yellow-ish orange color. Opaquely cloudy but not thick with sediment like their wonderful (D)IPAs. Medium white head. Nice thick foam with good retention, lots of lacing. Aroma is a mix of mild Belgian yeast action, pale malt and an interesting sweetly fruity hoppiness. Mildly phenolic with a touch of raisin and some herbal stuff. Simple, lightly doughy malt sugariness. The hops are melon, strawberry, floral, lemon, lime, light pineapple. It’s all delicate and sweet. Taste is an interesting mix of the Belgian character and hops. It’s a bit hard to get a sense of the beer because of the hop flavor. The hops aren’t overbearing, but the taste is hoppy first and Belgian second. The base seems fairly light and mild for a tripel. Hops provide good flavor and relatively mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and creamy. Low astringency. Easy to drink for 8.5% abv. I definitely prefer their work in (D)IPAs, but this is a pretty tasty little beer.

Poured from a 12 oz can. Aroma is somewhat fruity with overripe stone fruit and light citrus notes. Some pear with hints of banana. Light to medium light herbal, phenolic notes. Some light cracker and a hint of caramel. Some light berry notes. Pours a somewhat hazy, but not as murky as other HH beers, copper orange color with a medium large, thick white head that exhibits good retention as it slowly recedes. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly dry with just a touch of sweetness. Some light malt notes of caramel and biscuit. Moderate;y strong bitterness accentuated by the dryness. Medium light grassy and herbal phenolic notes. Medium hop notes with over ripe stone fruit, pear and fresh berries. Hints of citrus and resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, an interesting and unique Belgian IPA with an interesting hop profile that works well with the esters and phenolics. Not a style HH is known for and not a great beer, but a good one nonetheless. I definitely taste and smell the El Dorado and Mandaria Bavaria hops, but mostly the El Dorado.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is super hop forward with tons of citra notes. Lots of sweet citrus with some pineapple and tropical fruit notes. Hints of resin. Medium light cracker malt backbone. Pours an extremely muddy, pale brownish straw color with a medium sized, moderately thick white head that exhibits decent retention as it recedes to a thin film that lingers. Flavor is somewhat sweet with some moderate cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness with a ton of hop flavor. Citrus with pineapple and tropical fruits. Some light stone fruit ester notes. Some light resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. A light oily, slickness form the hop resins. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a super ugly IPA but super delicious and hoppy as well. Great citra character with enough malt to carry the beer but not overwhelm the hops.

Growler and can. The beer looks is white-yellow-tan and thick, like whipped cream in orange juice. Medium white head that can’t quite support its own weight. I’ve seen yeast starters with less sediment. The aroma is just straight up orange pineapple juice with a squeeze of kiwi and lime. I feel like I’m huffing tangerines. Taste is like the oil squeezed from a grapefruit rind in a tropical fruit salad. Moderate to medium bitterness. Relative to the hop flavor present, it’s not very bitter, but there are limits on these things. The mouthfeel is rich with hop oils, like chewing on hops rich. Sorta light, sorta creamy. Coats the palate like whoa. Pretty astringent. The finish is citrus rind for days. Despite all of that, the beer goes down super easily. My pint can was empty almost before I could even start writing. This stuff is wonderful. Hoof Hearted continues to refuse to practice any sort of moderation in hoppy beer brewing, and I can’t wait to try more.

Very cloudy, looks like pineapple juice. Aroma is full of mango hops, palate has a lot of bitterness. Fruity, especially pi�a and mango taste but with a lot of yeast as well.

Light brown, quite cloudy, and a frothy head. Strong coffee aroma with a light saison accent. Good balance. The taste is less together, with strong coffee but kind of a yeasty and slightly phenolic character.

Very cloudy. Appetizing papaya aroma with grapefruit. Full body, lots of bitterness but the fruity, bright hop flavours drop off. Good.
