To start, this is definitely one of my favorite beer names. Hop Czar is a delicious Imperial IPA that is both delicious and strong. The taste reminds me of Bell’s Hopslam, which is quite the compliment for anyone outside of the Midwest. The hop flavor is just about right, though nothing impressive at a listed 87 IBU, and the beer also finishes clean without the bitter aftertaste that some other IPA’s (or IIPA’s) might have. It’s a little less sweet than others of the same style that I’ve had, but that’s a good thing. While its a pretty potent beer (7.5% abv), you can’t taste it. If you are an IPA fan definitely pick up a 6 pack of this ASAP.
