Hop Damn American IPA

 During a short return visit to my birth province of New Brunswick, I picked up a handful of local lagers and ales to keep me feeling social. One such was Hop Damn American IPA. Brewed in Grand Falls, NB, Hop Dam is a 6.5% ale sold in rather minimalist 473mL cans. 

The beer is brewed by Grand Falls Brewing Co. It’s a hazy golden ale that pours with a lush white head that deflated rather speedily. Hop Dam has a punchy nose that screams hemp and citrus. The flavour is resinous and grapefruit leaning.

While this little guy looks like a NEIPA, the flavour profile is more West Coast: sticky and citrusy. Like the can, the beer is a wee bit understated, but I certainly enjoyed it.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
