Moa The Hoppit displays lots of New Zealand hop characters, passionfruit, pine (herbaceous), grapefruit and fresh, sweet tropical hop aromas. A golden, orange hue with a great hop haze. Rich malt tones, almost toasted with a lingering marmaladey bitterness that displays a sharp but smooth, sweet finish. Dry hopped seven times over two weeks, this beer is massive on the senses.

Shared 25.3 oz. bottle. Hazy dark copper with lots of sediment. Long-lasting off-white head with soapy lacing. Aroma of caramel, spice, malt, and citrus with floral elements. Taste is heavy on the malt, with a touch of citrus and pine. Seemed stale. Not the biggest Imperial IPA fan, but I suspect the bottle age likely affected this rating.

Draft at Binny’s South Loop. Golden amber color. Slightly sticky head. I’m unable to drink such a sweet, caramelized sugars, and abrasive hop bitterness. Messy fruit syrupiness. Don’t enjoy the hops with the mess of sweetness and strong alcohol.

Amber wth a slight haze. No head to speak of. Rich chewy crystal malts on the nose. Slight melon/citrus, but chewy. Kiwi hops are not good for this type of beer.

Coopers, NYC tap: Pours slightly hazed orange with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, floral bouquet, tree, earthy dirt, and sweet malts. Taste is rather bitter with a veritable hop sting. Very fresh tasting. Certainly qualifies as a sipper in the world of DIPAs. Slightly sweet.

On tap at Apex. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A light tropical fruit nose. A smooth floral flavor, easy drinking, some tea, crispness, low bitterness, some resin and fruit. Mellow. Good beer overall.

On tap at Apex, pours an opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma of doughy notes, some slightly orange-like fruity notes, and moderate floral hops. Flavour brings out loads of oranges, doughy malts and floral hops. Not very hoppy, but very fruity and light on the palate. Highly drinkable, and not suggestive of a higher alcohol beer. Great stuff.
