Weyerbacher Hops Infusion IPA: 21

Taste: 7 Finish: 7 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 21

Weyerbacher is a relatively new brewery founded in 1995 in Easton, PA. They've been getting some good buzz and reviews. Let's check them out.

It has a light amber color and a nice creamy head. It has a mild aroma of hops.

It has a nice bite up front. No sweetness whatsoever. As it moves to the back, the hops really kick in with a strong bitterness, and a bit of metallic undertone. The finish grabs you and hangs on for a while. This is a potent beer. It's all hops. No fruit or floral. So a bit of a one trick pony. But a good pony.

I starting to really get into craft IPAs that have more than just bitter hops. I'm looking for other subtle undertones and textures. But for a straight and strong IPA, Weyerbacher delivers a good one.
