Hopulent IPA is a big beer with lots of complex malt flavor and excessive hops. This beer will have changes to the grain bill and seasonal hop changes. The character of Hopulent IPA is over the top, too much of everything—a real HOP HEADS DELIGHT!

Pours creamy yellow, sticky beige foam and slight haze. Aroma is sweetish, you can feel that they were not stingy on the malts, this reveals quite decent and powerful body - and hints higher ABV. Sugary tropical fruits. Taste is nicely hoppy, hops are balancing the sweetness but well, it still shines through. Herbal and grassy feel, some ripe peaches and pears underneath. Pretty good but a little to sweet for me at this moment for some reason.

Bottle to glass. Pours clear copper with moderate white head. Moderate piney and resin hops. Generally very tasty, but as it warmed it became rather malt driven and slightly cloying from the malt and sugar.

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy with rocky beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of caramel, citrus, orange peel, marmalade, apricots, black-currant, rye bread and fresh hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, orange peel, pink grapefruit, apricot marmalade, rye bread, burnt sugar, pears and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Solid and well made DIPA. Very nice.

Bottle tasted on the 25/03/2017 at the Barcelona Beer Festival. First beer from Utah, John Stockton in memoriam. Clear golden colour with a medium average white head. Aroma of grains, citrus hops and some yeast. Taste is balanced between malts and hops. Not bad. Next one please!

Sampled on draft at tapped this beer poured a slightly hazy golden color with a huge foamy white head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was bitter with fruity hops, pine,and somewhat sweet tropical fruits. The flavor was bitter, grainy and sweet with pine, fruity hops, tropical fruit and cactus. Long mixed hop finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

defaulting a bit here on the rating because i had on nitro. I could tell this was a solid overall beer. the nitro added a creaminess that i don’t think suited the style. Will update if i try again
