Hoppy Hare Pale Ale

The Hoppy Hare is a compelling exploration of American Pale Ale, crafted with a specific focus on highlighting the symphony between American Pale Ale grains and Citra and Amarillo hops.

Appearance: In the glass, Hoppy Hare presents a luminous golden-orange hue, a delightful nod to the vibrant tones of American landscapes. It’s mildly hazy, a testament to its unfettered brewing style. A frothy, snow-white head tops the beer, creating an enticing visual contrast and leaving an artistic lacing as it gradually recedes.

Aroma: The aroma is a joyful dance of hops and malt. It starts with an invigorating waft of citrus, thanks to the Citra hops, suggesting fresh notes of grapefruit, lime, and a hint of tropical fruit. Amarillo hops chime in with their characteristic floral and citrusy notes, adding complexity. The malt background, subtle yet noticeable, introduces a comforting hint of caramel and toasted bread.

Taste: On the palate, Hoppy Hare continues to impress. It begins with a rush of Citra-influenced citrus flavors, mingling with the slightly sweet and smooth profile offered by American Pale Ale grains. Amarillo hops follow, introducing a delightful counterpoint with their floral nuances and a hint of orange. The malt backbone balances the hop bitterness brilliantly, offering a toasted, grainy sweetness that rounds off the beer nicely.

Mouthfeel: The Hoppy Hare has a medium body with moderate carbonation, ensuring it’s refreshing yet substantial enough on the palate. The finish is fairly dry, with a lingering hop bitterness that invites another sip.

Overall: Hoppy Hare is a well-crafted, flavorful American Pale Ale that offers a delightful complexity through the combination of Citra and Amarillo hops with the traditional American Pale Ale grains. It’s a beer that promises and delivers a ‘hoppy’ experience for all beer enthusiasts.
