Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #24 - Hopsession

 
Brewery - Brau Brothers Brewing Co., Lucan, Minnesota

Beer - Hopsession Super Pale Ale
Style - Pale Ale
ABV - 4.2%

IBUs - 30

Color - Cloudy copper with an off-white head
Aroma - Honey, citrus, grassy, mango
Flavor - Brief sweet malt, pineapple, grapefruit, moment of tartness, strong lingering bitterness
Verdict - This is a very enjoyable, extremely floral and citrusy, strongly bitter session ale. I really enjoy it and would happily drink a six pack in a single sitting, especially knowing I won't have to worry about being completely blitzed after the fact. Good stuff!
