COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is Mt. Carmel’s first Snapshot Series beer, Hopton Golden Ale. This beer is named after the forgotten and not officially recognized 7th noble gas, Hopton. Legend has it that this gas naturally occurred in the Bavarian hop fields and that occasionally a farmer would be found in a blissful slumber as a result of this aromatic gas. We pay tribute to this entirely fabricated myth by brewing this beer with loads of noble hops.

5/24/2011: Mt. Carmel "Snapshot Series" Hopton Golden Ale... Aroma: Biscuity malt; kind of a generic beer aroma; slightly floral and hints of oxidation (cardboard). Appearance: Cloudy, deep gold color; lofty beige head; frothy, thick lacing effects. Flavor: Dry Pils malt with suggestions of rye and citrus peel/pithe; touch of buttery toffee; dusty middle; lingering medium bitterness; leafy, herbal, floral hops. Palate: Medium body; clam, smooth texture. Overall: Good; reminds me of an English Pale Ale or Bitter with a bit more hoppiness and bitterness.

Draught (5.8% ABV) at Marty’s Hops and Vines in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rating #1 for this beer.
