Bottle text & Info:
Hercules is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, fit for the gods. HERCULES delivers a huge amount of hops from start to finish. Its hefty backbone of nutty, malty sweetness balances its aggressive hop profile.
Tasting Notes:
Pours a clear amber with a half inch of off white head. Low head retention that shows gentle carbonation beneath. Syrupy body that clings to the glass and just hangs in suspension. Huge gripping pine and citrus. whoa. Epically delicious and masterfully masked. 10% ??? where? I've tasted this before and really noticed it's significant malt billing, but this one seems all hops, all the time. This is definitely the freshest i've had this guys - only two and half weeks since its bottling! One of the most memorable hop experiences i've had in the last several years. I'm looking into the living room and the wife is giving two thumbs up from behind a glass. that's always a good sign ;).
