294. Fountain Square Brew Co. (Indianapolis, IN) - Hop Your Face

“Featuring Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic hops, along with 100 pounds of honey, this years [sic] Hop Your Face is sure to scratch the itch of any hop-head.”

Strong pine aroma and flavor up front lead to a stiff and bitter (but not unpleasant) finish, and all of that fades a little bit as it warms up. That makes some room for a little bit of shine from the citrus, but by the time it does, the 9.98% ABV is beginning to do things that make you feel happier than you really are. It doesn’t drink all that big, though, which could be dangerous. I’ve had Fountain Square beers before, but this is the first one I have posted—and possibly the first one I have had since I started this odyssey. I still have this cigar that Jackson’s friend’s dad gave me when we were in Honduras last year, and this would be an absolutely perfect beer to linger over while smoking that bad boy.
