Hopworks Urban Brewery, Portland, Oregon
22oz bottle, 9.5%abv
Gold Medal: 2009 GABF
Pours clear amber with a fluffy white head that dissipates fairly quickly.
Aroma is huge citrus hops -- really nice.
Flavor is nicely balanced -- overall quite hoppy, but balanced with good malt.
Mouthfeel is surprisingly light and crisp for as strong as it is. It's almost too drinkable.
Finish is strongly bitter. No surprise there.
This is a really good IIPA -- highly recommended. I've been enjoying a bunch of the HUB beers, I need to get up to the brewery one of these days...
