A West Coast hop party. Pouring copper in colour, HopBot delivers waves of absurd citrus and tropical aroma and flavour. Programmed with 5 West Coast American hops, our IPA drinks smooth and balanced thanks to it’s solid malt backbone.

On tap at The Snooty Fox. Pours a deep golden color with a huge off white head that persists for a while. Aromas of earthy rustic citrus and pine with bits of bread and hits of caramel to back it up. Bready maltiness with a fair bit of earthy citrus to counter. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. I sucked this 20oz glass down in nothing flat, I enjoyed this.

Had this draft beer during the 7/4 beer tour 2014 at Sidelines Beer House. A yuengling looking beer, looks like lighter iced tea. Smells a little like the mild b/o of your favorite mate, you know, in a good way. First taste is not real hoppy initially but then the bitterness morphs into something more potent. Yes, this evolution is this same with every gulp. Some co2 makes it somewhat usable for a lager lover. This is your typical mouth coating IPA, wew. Terribly on style once you get to the finish. No fruity attributes in this IPA.

Bottle. Pours a clear coppery gold with a large fizzy head and aromas of herbal and somewhat slinky hops. As it warms the aromas become more floral and slightly soapy with a slight tropical edge, but the initial hit was skunk. First sip is much better than I had feared and things are going to be ok... no they are gonna be good. There is a decent amount of grain dust maltiness there, but it is almost completely covered by tropical and resiny hops. Mango, passion fruit and pine almost bury it, but then that edgy malt comes back in the late palate before yielding to a somewhat clunky bitterness that doesn’t have much direction. Ok beer, and I would have another, but not something I would seek out.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized foamy off white head that left no lacing. The aroma was green onion and vague grassy hops. The flavor was tart and tangy onion, grass and lemon. Medium length finish. Medium body. Pretty awful.
