| Brewer's Description: | The mythical Hopdevil resides in the lore of farmers. Our HopDevil is the real deal. Bold, spicy and menacingly delicious. He's the product of distinctive American hops and meticulous craftmanship. Arising from the heady wilds of our hop back and gently tamed with time, this devil makes a great companion! |
| Appearance: | Medium-dark amber in color. Poured a perfect amount of head. Retained head for a little while. No visible bubbles while sitting on counter. |
| Aroma: | Smells spicy for beer. |
| Taste: | Somewhat similar to Boulevard Pale Ale. More bitterness than something like a Kolsch, but not overly bitter. I definitely know what to expect from an IPA now. |
| Mouth Feel: | Some carbonation release, but not a lot. Smooth finish. |
| Drinkability: | A bit better than the Rahr. On par, or maybe better than Boulevard. This was what the lady at K&B suggested as a benchmark for hops. So I suppose I know what hoppy" means now. |
| Score: | 6 / 10 |
