Mid-Western Beer Review – 5 Grass Hoppy Ale from 5 Rabbits

Here is the second review of a Mid-Western beer brought back from Chicago,  5 Grass from 5 Rabbits

Was expecting a little more hop to this one, considering the name and all.  Pours a nice clear amber color.  Spices really take the forefront here.  The sage is coming through and I am getting some savory ginger type notes as well.  Some pepper too.  A little metallic note as well.  Tasty, just mis-named for me.  I much prefer the 5 Vulture which was a take on the mole, in beer form.  I am intrigued to try more of the line-up from this brewery though.
