New Belgium The Hemperor HPA Beer Review

The Hemperor HPA from New Belgium Brewing Company is one of the beers I did look forward to trying this year and was able to secure a six-pack from one of my local beer stores. Pungent, resiny, and dank were some of the first things I thought when I opened up this beer. The aroma is very aromatic and it does not take much to pick it up. I also found it to have a note of hop oil as well, and as for taste, the beer brings all of these into that as well. Although, there is a nice smoothness to its crisp texture and for me, it left behind both a nice mouthcoating and mouthfeel experience. This is not my first hemp beer and it did well to deliver the qualities expected, 4 out of 5 for me on this one.
