| Hop Czar |
Brewery: Bridgeport Brewing
Location: Portland, OR
Beer Name: Hop Czar
Style: Imperial India Pale Ale
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: 85
The beer was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a golden orange with a white head, moderate retention and good lacing upon the glass. The aroma is hop dominated with floral notes of pine and citrus and just a touch of malt. The taste follows the nose, with grapefruit, citrus peel and pine resin hop bitterness with just a smidge of a caramel malt backbone. Medium body with soft carbonation.
Overall a good Imperial IPA. Quirky label graphic that evokes a chuckle with all the odes to hops. A good hop invitation in the nose. Nice mix of piney and citrus in the taste with just a hint of sweet malts. The beer hides the alcohol well. Was a very solid Double IPA that neither stood out from the crowd nor hid amongst it.
