hope never tasted so good

Sixpoint Craft Ales (aside from having the nicest craft-brewery website I've seen yet) has a "Hop Obama" brew! Their site takes forever to load, but luckily Beer Advocate has copied the text ...

In keeping with the Illinois senator's unifying theme, the "Hop Obama" is an indefinable ale that doesn't adhere to traditional style guidelines. The 5.2% ABV creation contains five different kinds of European crystal malt and three different kinds of Pacific Northwest Hops. Combined with a Scottish yeast strain for fermentation, the result is a highly drinkable beer with a big malt background and an "Obama" of hops that imparts floral and citrus notes with just a hint of spiciness.

Currently only available in NY and MA, so I won't be drinking one anytime soon ... unless I take some time off and head to NYC during NY Craft Beer Week. This site has been alot of the reason I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like. Designed by yours truly, the full site is coming soon ...

------- addendum

As bijan pointed out: "they shoulda called it The Audacity of Hops" ... they missed out on a grand pun.
