I found Frog Hop to be one my least favorite pale ales I can remember. Using favorite in that sentence could be misleading. I really did not like this beer at all. I found it very light in flavor and lacking all-around character. I find it interesting they recommend 41F for a serving temp. That’s about the lowest I’ve seen for an ale. I mean I’ve seen brewers recommend higher for lagers–and that includes some Germans. I take that to be bordering on the ol’ Bud/Miller/Coors tactic: serve it REALLY cold and no one will be able to tell how awful it really is.
Based on all the Great Northern beers I’ve tried, I get the impression they are brewing to hook Bud Lite drinkers. I couldn’t even finish the Black Star. Wheatfish and Snow Ghost are OK, but I don’t see myself buying them again.

That looks amazing. I really like fresh-hop beers. They seem to have a bright, floral, oily quality that sets them apart from stale-hopped beers. My personal favorite at this point is Ska’s Hoperation Ivy.

Hmmm, could be my dyslexia flaring up again. Thanks for letting me know.

the label says “Frog Hop”, not Hop Frog…
