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.

Pours clear blonde ( bumblebee yellow ) with an SRM of about 2. very clear. Small white head. Smell is faded american hops. Floral as well ( blooming flowers )Like air-freshner a bit, but not as intense or repelling to drink, that is. Taste is Decently bitter, Sharp malty notes ( white bread) as well as a assertive bitterness. Average Mouthfeel and carbo. more of the fading hop aromas, stong pine, but just not that fresh.

Golden pour with some white foam on top. Nice fresh hop aroma, although I think that my bottle was not maybe the freshest. But fresh enough. Nice aromatics going on, resiny and piney, quite aggressive. Maybe that’s from this hop extract? Taste is also fresh grassy and still has some sweetish malt biscuity backbone. Dry resiny bitterness in the finish. Easily drinkable IPA.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Brum. Floral and grassy aroma, with a caramel edge. Bright gold. Thin white head. Medium bitter. There is a kick to it but it’s well balanced, friendly rather than full force to the throat. Grapefruit. Herbs. Fruit sugars. Medium bodied. Slick, and sticky on the lips. Lively carbonation. Muted finish. Decent. Enjoyable. A relaxing IPA - having said that it pretty mush disappeared from my glass.
