The six I have is from a batch that could stand in for breakfast's grapefruit juice. I like.

Not a big IPA fan though-I'd rather drink the other IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol) than that stuff! Sorry Mike.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Mosaic is the most recent hop of the week for pale ale.

Our local Walmart doesn't have it! Guess I'll need to head north.

There was an IPA thread in the main forum not too long ago. Many posters commented about the seeming competition between brewers to go over the top in hopping their IPAs.
This brew, while hopped, is different in that it is more aromatic and not as bitter as many IPAs. That's the extent of my descriptive powers of the flavor. It's just good!

I haven't really hopped on the IPA trend, but that likely won't keep me from picking up a 6 or 12 of the husky to give it a try. This is more my style. ![[Linked Image]](https://1jyd2toklpxma7w23lqt6d4n-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/beer-hero-stout.png)

Those are too 'syrup-y' for my taste.

This brew, while hopped, is different in that it is more aromatic and not as bitter as many IPAs. That's the extent of my descriptive powers of the flavor. It's just good! Very perceptive on the aroma. I agree on the bitter bombs. That's a Calif/west coast trend of blasting the beer with hops early in the boil to get as much bittering as possible. With the newer fruity hops like Mosaic the New England style is to add massive amounts late in the boil or dry hop after fermentation so less bittering and more flavor and aroma. The regional designations are not accurate now but just a description. I brew my own beer and definitely prefer NE style.

Their Hopthermia is one of my current favorites. It has lots of bittering and aromatic hops.

Eat your beer with a spoon, Paul!
Art - they're sure proud of the Hopo, selling it in 4-packs! I like it too. The Hop 12er is a nice variety.
The Husky is gone in April they say.
