How we review

What the brewers say

“The Heiress is our take on a classic Bohemian Pilsner. Refreshing and effervescent with a snow-white head, it’s earthy and floral with a clean, bitter finish. It’s the perfect beer for fans of traditional Pilsners and for converting people whose only reference points for Pilsners are the adjunct versions sold twenty-four to a box.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Big bready malt, fresh ground Pilsner malt with some rich toasty notes mixed in. No discernable hops aroma, however.”

Flavor: “A firm bitterness lingers pleasantly throughout. Moderate malt, bready and toasty. Fairly light on the hops flavor. The hops bitterness is a bit pronounced for the style, but it balances the sweetness.”

Overall: “Nice balance of the sweetness and bitterness. A little more hops flavor would be nice, but it’s drinkable and traditional.”

New Belgium The Hemperor HPA®

Our brewers are always on the lookout for different hops varieties and the complexities and flavors new strains can bring. That’s where hemp comes into the picture. Without getting too nerdy, we found a unique way to recreate hemp terpene flavors in a beer, which complement the inclu- sion of hop flavors and hemp hearts (seeds) in a brand new, delicious way not to mention this beer is extremely dank! The flavors and aromas are so unique that it’s a style unto itself, hence HPA®.

Tröegs Independent Brewing Hop Knife

Cracking open a Hop Knife takes me right to the hops fields in Yakima,’ says our brewmaster, John Trogner. ‘When we’re out there for harvest, walking the fields and talking to the farmers, those notes of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit are everywhere. For me, Hop Knife embodies that whole experience.’

New Planet Seclusion IPA

Seclusion is an India pale ale, brewed with light malts and dry hopped to create a hops-forward citrus note. This four-time hopped IPA is robust and one of the best tasting, gluten-reduced beers on the market.

Epic New England Style IPA: Lupulin Burst

Check out Lupulin Burst, our newest addition to the rotating NEIPA series. These juicy, hazy hops bombs are packed to the brim with flavor. In fact, we’ve been downright irresponsible when it comes to hops utilization.

High Hops Brewery Dr. Pat’s Double IPA

Who is Dr. Pat? A dentist, third-generation farmer, and cofounder of High Hops Brewery. Dr. Pat cultivated our on-site hops farm in 2007, which led to the opening of High Hops Brewery in 2012. It’s his recipe that creates this malty, heavily hopped beer. We brew it with continuous hops additions using hops grown in that same field more than 10 years later.

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing

Sierra Nevada’s new Hazy Little Thing IPA is introducing the nation to cloudy IPA. Hops-heavy, juicy, and unfiltered, the beer is ripe with tropical- fruit flavors but finishes clean with Sierra Nevada’s signature West Coast style.

Lord Hobo Angelica

A New England take on a classic beer style, Angelica offers the refreshing drinkability of a wheat beer combined with Mosaic hops fruit- juice characteristics and elegant haze.
