On tap at the Trivia Pub in Moon. Hey, this is confusing; wouldn’t a beer called hoppus maximus that contains the most hops be an IPA at least? I haven’t had this before because I thought it was an IPA from the name. Once poured this has a big bubbles head. Darker yellow color, slightly darker than the ubiquitous american pale ale. This is just a little hazy, but it does have the appearance of an IPA. Barely any aroma at all but what I do smell is hops. Head fades to a froth. The first taste is IPA all the way. Amber ale? Too hoppy for an amber ale. A little too much medicine bitter quality for for my girlie taste buds. I have tasted many IPAs that were less hoppy than this. Finish is too IPA - ish to be enjoyable, especially since I don’t like the IPA style. Great Divide Ridgeline Amber Ale (Arapahoe Amber) is much better than this.

A very nice amber color, bit of haze, light amount of head. With the name I was hoping for a hop bomb, even though it says amber on the bottle. Smell was all malty red, light but malty. Flavor is pretty much a red but does have a nice hop presence, not ipa like but still very tasty and certainly makes this more than ur average red. Thanks to kinger for another winner from chief wahoo country.

From trade with kinger: pours a beautiful clear amber with a tight white head and very nice lacing throughout. Aromas of slight sweet malts and big hops. Taste follows the aromas with a very nice malty start then a very good hops bitter. Very good - big thanks Cory.

This beer pours a coppery color with a thick white head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy. The taste is clean with citrus and flower notes. The mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing. A very good beer that I could have more than one of.

Pours an appetizing clear coppery-gold with a decent white head. Aroma is fairly strong and quite hoppy with a fruity undertone and hints of malt and yeast. Flavor is mainly hoppy but only a little bit bitter, with hints of apple and a whisper of caramel. Texture is fizzy, smooth, just a bit on the thin side but otherwise quite satisfying.

This was a solid hoppy beer. Thanks again to Max's of Baltimore for this one. I really enjoyed this beer and think anyone that enjoys hops and/or IPAs shoud give this a go.

Poured a cloudy amber color with smallish head good lacing. Aroma was of malts, citrus and floral hops. Flavor was sweet, maltyness, had a bitter finish. Good but nothing standing out.
