Legend Brewing Co. - Hopfest
Hopfest is a 6.5% ABV American IPA from Legend Brewing out of Richmond, VA.
Pours a dark gold/amber with a good two finger beige white head. The head dissipates moderately with good head retention at the end. Nice sticky lacing. Bits of floating sediment can be seen through the glass.
Hopfest smells of toasted malt and pine/resin with subtle lemon, lime, and apple aromas. There is also some light caramel.
Big hops in the taste with a pretty bitter and dry finish. Grapefruit, citrus fruit rind, pine, and toasty malt are also present in the taste. Good carbonation and a smooth, slightly sticky mouthfeel.
Legend's Hopfest is a solid IPA and the toasted malt flavor is a nice touch that I don't find in most IPAs. If you're into IPAs with big bitter hops and also enjoy toasted malts, this is a good VA beer to try out.
Score: 4/5 (Untappd Caps)
