Terrapin Beer Company out of Athens Georgia has added this latest brew, Hopsecutioner IPA, to their year round available beers. At 7.2% and 78 IBU’s, Hopsecutioner firmly sets itself in the session-able category. Let’s see how it looks, smells and tastes.
Appearance – Hazy amber copper, 2 finger head with decent lacing, usual but good looking IPA
Nose- Cut grassy maltiness, more earthy hop character here with some grapefruit from the hops also coming through.
Taste – Hits with the bitterness on the tongue but offers a more astringent bitter, and not the west coast hop citrus. I find notes of a lemon zest HINT, but the taste steers WAY more towards flat out grapefruit bite and flavor. The beer finishes with a malt sweetness caramel hint. Overall, this beer is well balanced and a very drinkable east coast style IPA with a medium bodied mouth feel. Terrapin Beer company overall doesn’t seem to be changing the game, but their beers are excellently crafted and super flavorful. This is a great session-able IPA Really good beer B+.
