Year of New Beer: Hoptopus, Beach Brewing Co. (VA)

The nose is pungent with grapefruit and freshly cut field grasses. On the tongue comes more of the citrus rind as the hop oils are bitter and sticky. Very timid caramel malt makes a fleeting appearance before stepping aside and allowing the palate stripping to proceed. A little hot on the alcohol side, but still a double IPA that I found quite enjoyable.
