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.

355ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Crocheted lacing from a stable pearl white head over a clear golden body. Rounded piney aromas, mid-dry. Hop fruity flavours with notes of orange, citrus peels, and pineapple. Nice drying bitter ending. Medium bodied. Quite pleased with this one. (Tromsø 06.06.2018).

0,355 flaske fra Systembolaget Hansa (Malmø), i leiligheden marts-18: klar gylden med god skumkrone der varer. Nydelig humleprofil i aroma såvel som i smag, uden at det bliver bittert og aggressivt. Bare fyldig og rig, med plenty af fyrrenåle, fed harpiks, granskud, grapefrugt og en perfekt balancered maltsødme. Superforfriskende efter kveldens cykeltur rundt søerne. Halvtør afslutning.

Bottle. 5 days after expiry date - to be perfectly honest. Golden body, thick white head, relatively lasting, relatively big. Aroma... definitely citrus peel of sorts, sharp, on top of a full maltyness, but shows its age, keeping the score slightly higher than it should be from this to offset the age. The taste... wow. This actually tastes more hoppy than most IPAs are after what, nice citric, lemongrass and herbal notes on a clean, soft malty body, slightly lacking in carbonation but damn smooth. Realistically, this is a 3.5 right now, but I can see this easily being 3.7-3.8 when fresh, so props to Sierra Nevada.
