Appearance: Rich bronzed amber with a finger and a half worth of thick foamy off white head. Clarity is optimal making carbonation fully visible within the glass. Thick webbed lacing follows the head down the glass the deeper one gets.
Aroma: Robust choked full of caramel roasted malt with an over toned biscuit smell at the nose. Hop profile is minimal in the smell
Taste: Alternatively, the hop bitterness reveals itself in the end taste with a grassy but floral finish that completely balances out this beer. The dry hop finish tastes similarly along the lines of a traditional red ale, just with more malt flavors. The initial sweetness shows exactly what the aroma exhibited. This roasted malt is lighter, but more pronounced and similar to toasted caramel with a pale malt base. Generally, it starts sweet and transforms to a grassy dry finish with a fine line between the two.
Mouthfeel: The body is very light for the amount of flavor and low alcohol packed into this beer. Mouthfeel is forgiving from the minimal micro-bubble carbonation that carries through the bitterness. It's dry finish is from the hopping and not the alcohol which was a measly 4.4%
Overall Impression: A perfectly balanced ale transgressing a truly complex flavor and aroma in an easily describable manner. I even appreciate the low alcohol because you can just drink more!91/100

HOP HEAD BEER TOUR CO.
On A Mission To Provide Safe, Fun, Educational Tours Of Craft Beer Breweries And Beer Related Attractions.
As Wisconsin is quickly becoming the “Napa Valley” of microbrews, the Hop Head Beer Tour Co. is offering excursions with the goal of visiting every microbrewery/brew pub in the state of Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. And once we do that, will do it all over again!!
There is not one company in the Badger State that offers a chance to visit craft beer breweries and related attractions on a regular basis. Hop Head Beer Tour Co. is not only visiting microbreweries, but also hop farms, wineries and local distilleries, giving residents and visiting folks other options when they come to visit and enjoy our wonderful state.
Wisconsin does not have a regular tour company for individuals or groups that want to visit the over 68 microbreweries just in the Badger State alone. So the Hop Head Beer Tour Co. customizes and plans tours every other month visiting a different group of microbreweries/brew pubs on a regular basis throughout the year.
Yes, this sounds fantastic.
