Town Hall Hop Blossom
Town Hall Hop Blossom. I did it again. I forgot to bring home any information on this one. It's a beer, and I drank it, and it's called Hop Blossom, and now I have a growler to drink.
Appearance: clear, crimson/amber hue, under a perfect, creamy toned head.
Aroma: bright and fruity nose, citrus and pine aplenty. Grassy as all get-out. Vibrant, vivacious, and utterly lovely.
Taste: Hop blast continues on the palate, sliding over the tongues, and spreading to the back and down the hatch. Lush malt, smooth and tasty. Medium body, long, bittersweet finish.
What is in this? How did they make it? Is it a pale ale, or …well, what else would it be? There's some caramel malt here, traces of cocoa and toffee. Great balance in this one, too. Another good beer, and you, my friend, can drink it.
Here's what the website says: 6.1% "Our California Brown Ale. Strong West Coast hop flavor and bitterness. Light brown color and a touch of sweetness. Crisp spring beverage to welcome in the hot summer months."
