Hop Jockey 8.2%, Lakefront Brewery, United States
3 ratings
Hop Jockey
8.2% Imperial IPA / Double IPA
What do you do when you've already got one of the best craft IPAs? Double down. This hot-blooded thoroughbred pours freshly-polished copper color with a foamy, off-white mane. Centennial, Cascade, and Citra hops supply grapefruit, mandarin orange, and pineapple aromas and flavors, while lightly-roasted Belgian caramel malts add a subtle biscuit aroma and balanced sweetness in the backstretch. Grilled meats with tomato and brown sugar-based barbecue sauce, e.g. Kansas City-style, complement Hop Jockey's citrus fruit flavors; for a vegetarian twist, try smoked tofu burnt-ends. Sharp cheddar, Stilton-style blue, or any robust cheese will make an agreeable pairing, too.

Has a piney hops taste with a hint of citrus. Overall the best of the 4 lakefront beers I've had. Won't be rushing out to buy them tho
