An explosion of hops dominate this deep golden ale. Brewed with four varieties of hops & dry hopped with three other hops, the flavor is powerful. Not a harsh bitterness, but a full hop flavor.

This appears to have been renamed "Lola." Only there's no mention of Lola on this or any other site. But I swear to god it's what the chalkboard said and what I ordered.
Anyhow, pours simple: dark gold, mildly fizzy, nice white head. Smells of crisp orange and a little bit of pine--the kind of profile that would have been a mighty wallop in 2007 but seems kinda tame now, but it's nicely balanced.
Tastes like it smells: spritely pine and citrus hops against a crisp cereal background with a nice yeast finish. Pretty basic, but it gets the job done enough that you don't have any problem ordering another.
