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.

Bottle from Total Wine & More, St. Petersburg. Light gold, clear, well-carbonated. Fresh resinous hop in the aroma with a hint of vanilla. Extremely bitter taste with an almost astringent finish. Pine and bitter herbs in the sumptuous aftertaste. Nicely carbonated on the finish. Lovely stuff.

Good beer. Aroma is super fresh hops, a little fruit and malt. Flavor’s more bitter than sweet, a tad medicinal in the finish. Body’s a touch thin. Very drinkable.

Blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have well rounded, earthy hop notes. There’s a decent malty backbone throughout. Tastes extremely fresh and intense but is not overly bitter.
