Hoptimus Prime is definitely an intriguing brand of beer made from Pennsylvania, USA. It’s name somehow correlate with a famous robot from a highly acclaimed Hollywood film. Some beer reviews considered it as one of the best light beers, Pennsylvania has ever produced.
This so called “best light beer” pours a clear, deep copper color with a minimal off-white head. Though little head develops, there is a stick around leaving a foam ring around the glass along with swirls of foam which is a big plus factor for this one. Its luscious appearance will surely entice your senses to taste it. Other beer reviews consider it as quite normal but its name is a factor making its appearance a “yummy one”.
This best light beer has pretty subdued nose for a DIPA. Some earthy and floral hops are here along with a subtle sweet malt character. As mentioned, the aroma isn't all that strong, but some distinct characteristics do come through it. As I browse some beer reviews, its weak aroma is okay and matches its taste which I barely agree in.
The taste follows along with the nose although the flavors are a bit bolder. The earthy hops that were in the nose aren't as noticeable but some herbal hop character is picked up. What really stand out are the floral hops. Not strong, relatively speaking, but definitely the dominant hop aspect here. The sweet malt is still there but stays in the background. There is a considerable bitter finish that is stronger when the beer is colder. The bitterness lingers just a bit but, surprisingly, isn't all that sticky or oily. Personally, I love the taste and its twist. I definitely consider it as one of the best light beer I had ever tasted!
Its medium to heavy mouthfeel with medium carbonation give a slick mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness, as mentioned, but it's not the sticky type. Most DIPA seem to either be dry or somewhat dry or sticky and oily. This one is neither, which seems to throw me off a bit. Its really different from other best light beers I had tasted. This is the factor why I like this one the most.
Overall, it has an excellent DIPA. Kind of muted aromas and flavors, to the point where they can be picked out but nothing hits you in the face and takes over. The fact that nothing dominates over everything else is fine if it's a balanced beer but this one is hop forward with a slight amount of malt character and still nothing stands out head and shoulders above the rest. This beer is recommended for light dinners or as a partner for finger foods for some little chit-chat with friends.
