My Hoppy Place

My first reaction to this beer is not “extraordinary.” Unless they meant “extra ordinary.” It was decent but nothing to write home about (though apparently enough to write here about!).

The amazing pumpkin & goat cheese filled ravioli served with wild mushrooms in a butter-cream-nutmeg sauce (awesome! I highly recommend the restaurant, Scion, in Dupont Circle!) did bring out some of the here-to-fore hidden hops of this ale. But overall it was not that noteworthy. Not something that I will actively seek out again. But nothing offensive about it either. It is easy to drink and I am sure some folks will enjoy its light flavors.
