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.

0,33 l bottle. Pours almost clear golden with a finger of lasting frothy white head. Aroma is full of citrus fruit, oranges, lemon and tangerine, malt is in the background, there's also flower honey. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium, texture slick and carbonation average. Finish is quite long, citrus and sweetness of body slowly fades away and mellow bitterness lingers. Bottle was rather old, expiry date is 16. 2. 2018. I reckon there was more hop aroma when beer was younger. But it has a great body base and it's still a treat.

Ancient 4 month old bottle > Tulip glass. A: pours pale orange gold with a small head that held for a minute or two. Clear with a few visible bubbles. S: Dull aroma of leafy herbal hops and stale bread. Faint fruit. T: Bitter piney hops hit first with an oily wood note rounding joining. Hops are still fairly bright with some citrus flavor at the end. M: medium bodied with light carbonation and a resinous finish. O: Good hop flavor even at his age means this must be great fresh. Must revisit this.

12oz bottle from Beer52.com. A pale amber colour with a loose cream head and high carbonation; quite a subdued aroma with some lime and a touch of pine; big hoppy taste, resinous to start then citrusy, but nicely balanced and not too aggresive. A well made IPA, pleasantly hoppy.

Wow, unglaubliche Perligkeit, heftige Carbo, toller Schaum, ganz ohne Gushing. In der Nase sehr fruchtig mit leichter Grasigkeit. Im Trunk frisch, spitzig, dann Frucht, cremig, Zitrus, irgendwie Erdbeere, Mango, und sehr sanft aufeinander abgestimmt. Himmel, ist das lecker.

Lively yellow beer, white head. Sweet, lemony aroma. Tastes of hop, tangy lemon. It's grassy and quite dry. It's no surprise from the name that it's the hop that dominates throughout. Doesn't taste it's strength at all. Nice.

Bottle from Beer Hawk. Very hoppy, but older musty hops or maybe its just very fresh hops as it says on the tin. Tasty.

Tomada de botella en vaso ancho, caducada varios meses.
Apariencia típica de una IPA, color anaranjado algo translúcida, con espuma bonita y muy blanca que aguanta bien. Aromas muy ricos a resina y frutas como la piña o el mango. El sabor también muy agradable, con un sutil amargor para ser una IPA americana, supongo que si su fecha de consumo estuviera más cercana a la del embotellado el amargor sería más notable. El postgusto que deja es un punto fuerte de esta cerveza: cítrico y amargo a la vez.
Una buena IPA muy bebible que merece la pena probar, Sierra Nevada no defrauda.
