F.X. Matt Brewing Company

West Coast IPA·United States·7% ABV·One of 221 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hoppy Hour Hero's piney and bitter character. Hoppy Hour Hero is the West Coast version of Saranac's Hoppy Hour Hero line. Light malts keep the colour pale, and the hopping relies on Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra. Grapefruit and other citrus, pine resin and a dank, slightly tropical hop character lead, and the lean malt base lets a firm, dry bitterness carry through to the finish.
