Hop Bomber

A very waxtastic bottle.  Required a few instruments to break through the wax on top.  Once we got in and poured the first glass, we realized there was something in the bottle.  Whaaaaat?  So we read the back of the bottle and learned that there is a "flavor bomb" inside it.  The flavor bomb is a small plastic vessel with holes that the brewer can stuff with additional flavor ingredients based on the beer.  In this case, it was stuffed with extra hops.  So essentially, this beer was dry hopping right up until the minute you carved through all the wax and poured yourself a glass.

Hop Bomber India Pale Ale (7% ABV)
The Grand Canyon Brewing Company
Williams, Arizona

Score: very hoppy, which is awesome, if you like that sort of thing.  The Husband gave it a 4 out of 5 pint glasses on the unofficial Suburban Suds pint glass rating system.  I thought it was well done, but after one glass full of the heavy hops, I forfeited the rest of the bottle to The Husband.

Recommendations: support Arizona breweries and pickup a bottle of Grand Canyon when you see one.  They're not always easy to find, but they always rock a solid brew.
