Hop Rod is a refreshing and crisp brew, but is supported by a slightly meaty bread back. It's an IPA where the malt actually matters and the 8% ABV is well hidden under a blanket of complexity. It tastes dark, bitter, and almost semi-sweet, with a somewhat tree bark tinged hop river running through the flavor. This one's a sturdy but purdy girl that will wrestle you naked in the woods when you go hiking on a breezy summer day. (A)
