Brewer's Description:The legend of ‘Hop’ Wallop:

Horace ‘Hop’ Wallop headed west a broken man. For in the City of Blues a Miss LuLu Belle Lager had left him thirsting for more. Drawn by wild tales of riches to be had in the gold mines, Hop pressed on westward. His last nickel spent on a prospecting pan. Hop’s hunger got the best of him. Two fistfuls of barley and three of some wild and wayward hops tossed in a pan with some clear water was to be his meal. But sleep overcame him and he later awoke to a bubbling, cacophonous concoction. Overjoyed with the beautiful ale that he had made, Hop realized the secret of the green gold he had discovered in those fresh hops. Celebrated far and wide, Hop Wallop lives on in this vivid ale with his words, ""Hoppiness is happiness."" ENJOY!

Aroma:VERY strong hop smell.
Taste:VERY strong hop taste.
Mouth Feel:Feel is fine with good carbonation.
Drinkability:Not very good, in my opinion. It’s too hoppy for my taste. I prefer Hop Devil quite a bit.
