Our Hop Ottin’ IPA is brewed and dry-hopped with copious amounts of Columbus and Cascade. This beer is a showcase of the bright citrusy aromas, bold grapefruit and pine-like flavors, and resiny bitterness that hop heads crave. With a brilliant, deep amber color and solid malt backbone, hints of citron, roses, and bergamot peak with a dry, herbal finish in this well-balanced interpretation of a West Coast IPA.

Cloudy orange color with a sizable slightly off-white head, which sticks around in some form or other for quite a while. Aroma is first heavy in hops, then a little in fruits and flowers. Taste is pretty hoppy with a tasty bite to it. Pretty darn bitter, but other flavors appear if you take a moment to take notice of them.

Pineapple, walnut, caramel aroma in equal proportions. Clear amber thick billowy cream white head. More bitter than expected. Tastes of orange peel and dirt. Almond nougat on the palate. Medium body, slightly resinous mouthfeel, excellent lacing.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice hop aroma, with scent of sweet oranges. Good mouthfeel, medium caramel, strong hop, very aromatic, with toffee tones. Extremely powerful and long final, a bit fruity too and resiny.
Tasted side to side with Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, the latter wins.

On draft @ The Yard House in San Diego that pours out deep copper with white head and nice lacing. It has the standard citrus, mild sweet malt and grapefruit hop aroma. The taste starts with a nice bolt of grapefruit and mild sweet malts with some caramelization. Then midway an annoying metal hop note defaced the whole experience. I guess they don’t keep the tap lines clean enough at this place.

Bottle courtesy of SS: Poured a deep copper ale with a nice big foamy head with good retention. Aroma of bitter hops is well balance with some light caramel malt. Taste is a mix between caramel malt and some bitter hops. Body is above average with some good carbonation. I have to admit that this was a well made and very refreshing IPA but still taste quite similar to other staple of the style.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 15 June 2007) Dark amber colour with brief beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange, grapefruit, pine needles. Lots of hops, but still balanced. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, orange peel, pine needles and loads of hops. Rather one dimensional, but great hop character and nicely balanced. Great!
