Here's one of those breweries I'd never heard of until I saw it on tap at Acadia Cafe. "Hop Worthy" is an odd name, and it doesn't feel like a pun. What could it mean? I have no way of knowing. Anyway, they're over in Wausau, Wisconsin, and we had it on tap at Acadia. (And, apparently others, based on the empty kegs in the basement.) I took these notes before the keg emptied.
Bull Falls Hop Worthy India Pale Ale.
Clear, amber colored, smallish, whitish head.
Earthy spicy nose, low bitterness, low fruitiness.
Tastes: starts off piney, then turns slightly sweet, and ending bitter. Medium-bodied. Malt sweetness is much higher than normal, bitterness rises up to match it. Not bad, but nothing to squawk about.
