Baylands Brewery's Hoptimum Overdrive is a captivating New England-style Pale Ale that takes the hop experience to new heights. Boasting an impressive 10.2% ABV, this beer is a true showcase of the exceptional quality of New Zealand hops. The aroma is an intense burst of citrusy notes, with grapefruit, orange, and lemon complemented by tropical aromas of mango, pineapple, and papaya. Piney, resinous notes add depth and complexity, hinting at the bold flavors to come. On the palate, the juicy hop-forward flavor profile delivers a delightful balance of bitterness and sweetness. Grapefruit and orange dominate the senses, with hints of mango and pineapple adding a tropical twist. The substantial bitterness is well-integrated, providing a lingering, resinous finish that leaves you craving more. The medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, with a slight oiliness, creates a smooth and creamy drinking experience.
