COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Horace ‘Hop’ Wallop headed West a broken man. For it was a certain Miss LuLubelle Lager that had left him, thirsting for more. Drawn by wild tales of the riches of the gold mines, Hop pressed on westward. His last nickel spent on a prospecting pan, Hop’s hunger and thirst got the best of him. Two fistfuls o’ barley and three of some wild and wayward hops tossed in the pan with some clear water was to be his meal. But sleep overcame him and he woke to a bubbling, cacophonous concoction. Overjoyed with the beautiful ale that he had made, Hop realized the secret of the ’green gold’ he had discovered in those fresh hops. Celebrated far and wide, Hop Wallop lives on in this vivid ale with his words, "hoppiness is happiness." As our annual homage to the fresh hop harvest, Hop Wallop is a fragrant experience that delights the tastebuds. Pure gold of color, this ale offers its heady bounty of hops to the adventurous of taste. Bold, bracing and surprisingly refreshing for a strong ale, Hop Wallop lives up to its name and legacy.

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2020 Cask at GBBF, Earl’s Court on 05/08/2009. Really well executed IIPA. Resinous and big on the bitterness, but balanced out nicely with the booze.
2.5
UPDATED: FEB 4, 2020 Pure clear golden pour with a thick resilient white head. Tons of lace. Very strange aroma and flavor on this one. Berries. Cleaning chemicals. Pine. Not the best. Maybe a bad batch.
3.9
UPDATED: JAN 16, 2020 12 oz. bottle. A beer I used to drink a long time ago and never reviewed. Pours clear golden. Smells of light orange, biscuit malt, and some grapefruit. Hints of garlic and onion hops. Tastes of grapefruit hops, light malt sweetness, biscuit and cracker malt, and a chewy grapefruit back end. A bit heavier than medium bodied. Drinks just a little slower than most IPAs. A tasty beer and no wonder I used to enjoy this way back in the day.

UPDATED: SEP 23, 2019 On tap at BrewDog Brum
Fair imperial even though not overextensive. High alcohol well hidden and seems to be an easy drinking. Though it is not. Still good though.

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2019 0,2l pour at Cafe Rooster, Oulu. Pours golden with white lacing. Pine, resin, some grapefruit. Nice fruity DIPA.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2019 Tap @ The Bishops Arms Marina Plaza, Helsingborg 20190913.
Fruity and hoppy, grapefruits, sweet, medium body with an oily texture. The finish is bitter.
3.1
UPDATED: SEP 2, 2019 Pours golden, white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste has smooth hop elements, very dry for a west coast. Palate has floral notes. Very drinkable.
