Hop Smosh Review

Can a beer with a mish-mash of old hops from opened bags be any good? Probably not. Such is the case with the beer I brewed a few weeks ago to finally get rid of some old hops.

Appearance: Dense, fluffy and persistent white head. Light orange body, with significant haze. Carbonation bubbles visibly moving up through the beer.

Aroma: Not intense. Piney, minerally, lacks fruity quality or intensity.

Taste: Eh. Plain malt, spicey bitterness, minerally quality. I do get a little bit of fruity taste, but not much.

Mouthfeel: Light, moderately carbed, a little thin. Could use some crystal malt or a more flavorful base like MO or Munich.

Overall: Eh. I was going for quantity and not quality on this one. But it's not terrible - it's just not good. I wouldn't pay for this beer but I would drink it.
