COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
New York hops are coming on in a big way! For our anniversary beer this year, we decided to honor our region and feature the dank flavors and aromas of Upstate New York hops. At the forefront of this resurgence are the Whipple Brothers in Hamlin, New York. To make our hoppiest beer to date, we decided to toss in over 180 lbs of their fresh, locally grown cascades to help take you to hoppy bliss. Layered on top of a sticky red malt profile, this beer, and these hops, will show what Western New York Brewing is all about. Cheers!

22 oz bottle poured into a tulip pint glass. Thanks to my friend Mike for the gift! Hazy golden orange to light amber with two fingers of beige head. Aromas of dark fruit, malt, toast and biscuit. Tastes of malt, figs and dark fruit, toast, light floral notes, biscuit. Medium-light body with a dry and slightly warm finish.

(bottle - 22 oz) Clear copper pour with a fluffy white head. Tropical and citrus notes in the nose with some light sweetness. Flavor has much the same and then a big bitter middle with a lightly sweet malt backbone and finish. Finishes smooth with just a light bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured a translucent red with a nice head and malty lace. Aroma of fresh citrus hops. The citrus hops were upfront then the caramel and the soft bitterness at the end. The malty backbone hid the alcohol well.

Moblin (2) - Rochester, New York, USA - MAR 24, 2015 does not count
Noticeable hop notes over a solid malt backbone. Alcogol is dangerously well hidden though, so beware!

DocLock (8707) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 13, 2015
Bomber from Wegman’s Collegeville and Capone’s. Pours turbid ruby/coppery with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is intense resiny pinet hops, orange marmalade, pineapple, spice. Tastes very piney, resiny, hoppy, with caramel malt, and some florals. Stays as IBU-heavy as ever, and is juicy, fresh, and delicious! Another winner from one of my 20 favorite brewers.

draft at Blue Monk, Solid amped up amber. fuller mouthfeel, solid agressive bitterness with hefty malty backbone to back it up. Nicely done

jb (2592) - Rochester, New York, USA - FEB 1, 2015
Appearance is clear copper with a thin sudsy head and spotty lacing. Nose is 100% cascade. Taste is a bit biscuity, malt driven, then finishes extremely dry. Feel is thick and lush. Where’s the booze? They hid it masterfully. Bottle from Weg’s.

Gamin (146) - Brockport, New York, USA - JAN 28, 2015
Pours a deep and reddish amber with good clarity. Taste has citrus and pine up front and then trails off to a sweet maltiness. I'm really enjoying this one.
