Distilled Hop Oil IPA
We harness the complex flavors of just-picked hops with Hop Hunter IPA using an all-new method of steam distilling wet hops before they even leave the fields. This revolutionary technique captures and intensifies the natural flavors, creating a unique and intensely aromatic beer. Our custom process gathers pure hop oil which, when combined with traditional whole-cone hops in the brew kettle, makes for an incredible IPA experience.

A very refreshing fruity IPA! The nose is dynamic, featuring scents of piney, tropical and floral hops and soft grainy malt. The hop taste profile accents the hops as promised, with fresh tropical flavours supplemented by floral and citrus accents. Might even be a hint of cherry and pepper in there. The malt is soft and accommodating. A well blended IPA with a dry finish.

Bottled from target. Yeah Target. Wow. Anyway it pours pale orange yellow and is very aromatic, very little head and not super carved. . Needs a bit more body honestly, could use more kick/flavor. I appreciate the story behind this it’s just tough to make a standout ipa these days.

Bottle. Dark gold color with a large quickly disappearing head. Aroma is very strong of grapefruit and spruce. Taste is a tad overwhelming. Usual IPA taste but as strong as a double IPA.

12oz bottle as a gift from Florida. Clear golden pour, big white head. Aroma a is extremely lemony. Loads of lemon oil, and quite a bit of pine. Refreshing mouth feel, lively carb, with a crackery malt finish. Lightly bitter finish, loads of fresh hop cones and biscuity malts.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di luppolo e frutto della passione. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione nella media e persistente. Il colore è ambrato scarico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca si percepiscono sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, pompelmo e ananas.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity hops, biscuity malt, fruits, citrus, orange peel, some pine resin. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with an above medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Nicely citrussy hoppy bitter IPA, quality stuff. Hope to drink this fresh one day.

Pours pale amber with a thin lacing white head. Aroma of grassy malt. Taste has some oily hops, some vanilla, woody notes. Palate has some lingering pine, little bits of citrus. Good.
