Ka pow! Hop Ninja is an in-your-face West Coast double IPA. Hop flavors slice their way through a base of American 2-row malt kissed by caramel malt. Quadruple dry hopping with Simcoe, Amarillo, and Columbus creates an aroma that skillfully takes your olfactory senses hostage. A dry finish masks the sneak attack of 8.9% ABV.

On tap at Growler Guys, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, resinous notes, and residual light candied sweetness. Flavour is somewhat messy, with resinous hops, candied sweetness and caramel bread malt. A bit jagged, with a higher-than-desired sweetness. Not bad overall, but not what I hope for in a IIPA.

Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma of fresh resinous hops, floral notes, juicy fruits, loads of pine, grass and citrus. Taste is juicy, chewy and caramely with massive amounts of hops, tropical fruits, grass, pine, resin and floral notes. Finish is lingering bitter, hoppy and malty with loads of tropical fruits. Awesome.

Draught @ the brewpub, Long Beach. Aroma is quite mild with some resin and fruits. Flavour has grapefruit, fruit candy, some bush leaves and mild minerals. Sweet, but not in disturbing way.
