ABV: 6.0%
The East Coast brews have arrived! I can't wait to get back into the brews that started it all (for me). College in Boston meant these were the ones I grew up on. I never had the Hop Back but the style is very familiar.
The nose is sweet and floral and has some significant malt which is surprising. The malt drops out on the mouth. The flavor is floral and bitter from the hops with hints of oak and some tree bark on the finish. The finish is quite bitter but also palatable. It's really interesting that the malts were apparent on the nose but noticeably absent in the mouth. Solid brew to start from the East Coast.
Points: 89
Thanks to Katie
Cheers
