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.

On tap at Frisches Bier TT. Clear, light gold, thin head, sweet caramel nose with light on the fruits. Very smooth piney bitterness. Not as much for as I'd like but wow that's a smooth IPA.

Keyaki. Nice aroma, grass and lemon, good stuff. Nice maltiness. Nice enough beers, but the prices were ridiculous. Seems to be a huge markup on Sierra Nevada stuff coming to Japan, whereas some other US stuff is priced a lot more fairly.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, pineapple, some caramel and grass. Flavour of grass, grapefruit, peach and hay. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and medium bitterness. Hoppy with citrus undertones. Well-balanced.

On tap at Fakin Craft Bar, Zagreb. Clear pale golden, small off-white head. Lightly hoppy, aroma is piney, citrusy, resiny, zesty. Quite fresh, but light. Grainy malts underneath. Moderate bitterness, lingering. Fruity hoppy flavours. Moderate carbonation, drinkable. Slightly perfumy. Like the bitter part.

RB backlog. Grapefruit zest, super light caramel, toast, cereal, floral notes. Light sweetness, very straight zesty bitter and tart notes. Super drinkable for the strength, Sierra Nevada on top of their game.
