The mighty Magnum hop packs this edition of Hop Bullet with behemoth favors of grapefruit, orange rind, and pine resin. This thing’s a force, but it’s also fleeting. Stock up or miss out.

Burk från bolaget testas med atros. Utseende? gul och klar dryck i klassisk Dipa stil. Törstig klunkar jag på och härrejävlar!. Det kommer apelsin 🍊 blandat med tallbarr 🌲 samt svag blommighet och lite malt ton. Perfekt balans mellan fruktsötma , barren och beskan . Jag testat nogra tiotals nya dipor senaste veckorna och ingen av de kommer upp på denna nivån.

I have a 12 can that bears a stamp of pkgd on 11/21/23 and was acquired at the Cedar Park Total Wine. My snifter from Cowtown Brewing is the glass of choice this evening. The view is a blessedly clear, medium gold body with a skim of completely white foam that is consistently recharged. I get a nose of hops in abundance, citrus, apricots and grain. I take a drink. Nicely bitter right off, pine, some hard candy sweetness, lemons, crackers and apricots again. In a beer world seemingly covered by NE style, this is a fine departure. Hits a lot of marks for me.

An from SN's UK website. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, green, sappy, resinous, pine, orange marmalade sandwiches, apricot jam, spicy, herbal, touch of toffee and sponge pudding. The taste is firmly dry and bitter upfront, bitterness builds and lingers, green, west coast dank, some herbal accents, pine needles, sappy, resinous, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, lemon peel, some marmalade, hint of toffee, peppery spice and prickly & punchy alcohol with lingering green and bitter finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice and punchy DIPA. Could chug a few of these and get some good boost on.

12 ounce can from Pinocchio’ in Media, PA. Bright, honey gold color. Large, dense snow white head. Great lacing. Bright citrus hop aroma hints at green apple and mint. Bittersweet citrus and pine flavors upfront. Some booziness in middle. Pine, mint and grassy hops in finish. Definite West Coast vibes.
