This summer...
just when thirst thought it was safe to leave mouths' dry and parched...
an unsuspecting hero would emerge from the shadows...
born in the Macedon Ranges...
humanity's last hope...
THE HOPINATOR
The masters' at Holgate Brewhouse have constructed a heavy hitting monster, armed with double barrels chock full of hops. If you like lagers, chances are after 2 or 3 sips your face will have melted into a sticky pool. If you like punchy ales, then you will need to be careful not to overextend yourself funneling this beer down your throat.
The carbonation is soft, the malt subtle, all just a red carpet delicately rolled out to a stage ready and lit for the hopfest. Be warned, as it's a Double IPA the bitter aftertaste is almost at Warhead proportions. But the smooth, flavourful body that sits heavy on the palette is more than worth it.
Brilliant IPA. Perhaps just behind the Sierra Nevada IPA, but close enough to be stepping on it's coat tails.
8.75/10
