If you’re looking for hops, we’ve got your tail. Hop Gun IPA delivers a payload of good ol’ American hops straight to your palate, bursting forth with the flavors of grapefruit and pineapple. A careful dose of smooth caramel malts swoop in to balance out the finish — just like any good wingman should.

Draft: Poured a nice caramel brown with a creamy off white head. Aroma is sweet but hoppy. Taste was nice bitter hops but balanced just right with a malty finish.

On tap at Funky Buddha. Chunky, thick brown-orange with a thin, soapy head. The aroma doesn’t really jump out at you like youd’ expect from a 90 IBU IPA...some odd buttery off tones actually. Im guessing this beer is a little off, but is tolerable because of the big hops. Definite burnt buttery ringwood flavors. Not really good at all, the buttery malt tones are approaching rancid. I’d hope this is an off batch, and they didnt want to dump all that money down the drain. Disappointing.

Tap pour sampled outside the brewpub adjacent to the parking lot and amid lots of hip ‘too cool for school’ cigarette smokers. It poured up deep gold with copper hues and fairly opaque giving it a grapefruit juice sort of look and it supports a white head. The aroma is full orange peel, orange juice, grapefruit juice, sugar covered grapefruit wedges and a faint sense of sugary malt sweetness in the background. The taste is full up robust orange juice, grapefruit juice and sugary tangelo hop flavor that rockets right into clean refreshing citrus hop bitterness. I also get just enough malt sweetness to give the flavor a sense that yes there are malts here somewhere. Solid IPA that I would love to drink again and again and again. Well done!
