Single... and loving it. Our Single Hop Imperial IPAs showcase the most rare and interesting hop varieties, something all too apparent with HBC-291. It’s so new, it doesn’t even have a name. And this juicy little number proves that a hop without a name smells and tastes just as sweet.

12 oz bottle from Hoboken Vine, 1/17/16. Mostly clear orange color, heavy, spotty lacework from an off white head. Aroma of tropical hops and some peppery spice. Fruity, decently bitter. Peppery finish. Medium bodied, slightly over carbonated. Dry, peppery close is fairly lingering, and dominates the mouthfeel. After two bottles I still haven't really decided how I feel about this one.

12 oz bottle poured into a Bruery tulip. Enjoy by date of 6/8/2016. Nice clear golden orange with about two fingers of off-white head. Light sparse lacing. Aromas of orange and grapefruit citrus, tropical and stone fruit, light floral notes. Tastes of grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit, floral notes, hop oils, stone fruit. Medium body with a dry finish. Nice balance of hops and fruit.
