BrewDog Hop Rocker

September 17th, 2010Beer Reviews, LagersStatuesque lager the label says.
Hop Rocker.
So why is it almost entirely made of the sweat of digestive biscuits? This beer personifies Hobnobs on holiday without a care in the world, sucking lemons and painting the town red with the blood of hops. Think Holsten Pills brewed by McVities with all the ingredients on steroids. Nothing prepared me for the sweet and fruity injection or the flurry of malt near the end, malted barley rushing with blazing blues and twos to counter the whopping astringency that punches you in the face when you take a sip.
Funny how Hop Rocker slipped off the radar, because this beer is BrewDog through and through.

I’ve never heard of it but it sounds pretty interesting, if I ever see one I’ll pick it up for a ‘baron rating’ – only ever see Punk IPA over this way though
