Brewed on April 13, 2012. Packaged on May 8, 2012.
Citrusy on the first sip, like cracking open a grapefruit, then refreshing bitterness. The lower than usual abv makes Hopulent an excellent choice for a warm Spring patio companion.
The Malt
Premium Briess Two Row with a nearly equal amount of Ultra Premium Maris Otter as the base malts. Weyermann Munic malt Type 1 and Briess Caramel malt 20L finish off the bill nicely.
