Montana Beer Series: Hopper Pale Ale


Hopper Pale Ale
Madison River Brewing Co.
Belgrade, MT

Source: Bottle from a six pack bought at the Bozeman Food Co-op; poured into a pint glass.

Tasting Notes: Light amber color, zero head, light carbonation, nice lacing of bubbles in glass. Bitter start, more bitter finish. Aroma of Rye bread and honey (no hop florals to speak of). Maltiness is on the lighter side, very little flavor per se. Leaves me wanting the punch and florals of a West Coast IPA.

Overall Grade: C
