Hoppin' Frog take 4. Golden Fraug. Another Frog, another winner. This was, actually much to my surprise, one of my favorite Belgians of recent weeks. For some reason, from the name I was expecting something light and wattery...possibly Hoegarden-esque, so I was pleasantly surprised when I started pouring and saw some amber goodness. Then I took a sip, and was proven correct. This was quite good...it had some spice flavor and body, although not tons, and definitely had some alcohol kick. Katie pronounced me "wrecked" after I downed the bottle...I would argue that was a gross overstatement, but there was at least a grain of truth there. This was a great beer. 4.5/5
Hoppin' Frog recap:
Boris Oatmeal Imp Stout=great
Hoppin' to Heaven IPA=great
Mean Manalishi Imp IPA=good
Golden Fraug Belgian=great
Pretty impressive. Many thanks to Duane for introducing us to these. I think now I'm going to try the Wheat and the Black & Tan, which I had no interest in, but which I feel compelled to at least sample. Stay tuned.

The black and tan is intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to its newsletter.
