Pungent, resinous hop scents fuse with smooth chocolate and lightly roasted malts while faint mint adds a delicious accent to the aroma. Hop Strike’s malts and hops are equally bold: Espresso and caramel press up against citric orange and grapefruit notes throughout the swallow. Mid-sip, dank hops emerge just before an intense bitter wave sucks moisture from the tongue. This beer is an aggressive take on the emerging style, and closes with lasting roasted malts on the tongue.
