Hop Goblin IPA R&B


Hop Goblin IPA R&B Brewing

Ratebeer not listed
Beer Advocate B-

Taste +4

There is nothing wrong with an IPA like this one; your nose is graced with heavy, floral hops. It is similar to the smell of grapefruits and assorted bitter citrus. You get a very sweet caramel up front with a very assertive hop bitterness immediately afterwards. They blended nicely together; there was over 45IBU for those keeping track.

Aftertaste +2

There was a long lingering of malt sweetness with an astringent, bitter hoppiness to it. The grapefruit flavours lasted until the next sip.

Alcohol Content +1 6.0%

Value +1

This was great local flowery IPA. I would get it again.
Ingame Enhancement 0
Grid Defense might cause me to loose all my friends. Who needs friends when you get level beating satisfaction.
Overall 8/10

I would class this one as an excellent grapefruit, flowery IPA. Not quite as over the top as a Stone.
