Hoppin Frog

They recently released two beers from Hoppin Frog at Systembolaget. Hoppin Frog is a small brewery in Ohio and has been very succesfull since the start in 1994.

Hoppin Frog Mean Manalishi Double IPA (bottle) 8,2%
It poured a hazy dark golden-brown liquid with a small foam that left some lacing. It had a smell of both grassy and flowery/fruity hops, grapefruit, citrus and a hint of passion fruit. It had a tate of grassy hops and grapefruit with a high bitterness. A very nice beer.
Total: 3,9/5
Hoppin Frog Boris the Crusher (bottle) 9,4%
It poured a pitch black liquid with a small brown foam that left some lacing. It had a strong smell of chocolate, something burned and some smoke. It had a strong taste of chocolate, soy sauce something burned and smokey. The flavour was fairly complex with allot of different tastes attacking from different angles. A very nice beer.
Total: 4,2/5
