 Once again, my neighbor came through with a great sampler pack. This time it was a variety of beer from the Samuel Adams American Homebrew Contest.

Friar Hop Ale was brewed by Richard Roper from Georgia. I was really impressed by this guy's work. The beer was pretty good, but the fact that he came up with this very original recipe was what impressed me the most.

The beer itself was a dark bronze color. It was a little bit fruity sweet on the front end followed by the bitterness that you knew the hops would bring. There was a hint of brewing spices, but they weren't too strong at all.

This was an interesting beer. I'm really glad I tried it!
