Hops are the name of the game with a Double IPA, but we knew we had to take it one step further. With Hop Bullet, we’re using a new technique, hitting the beer with a one-two punch of Magnum hops and lupulin dust—pure, concentrated hop flavor—directly into the tank to emphasize the intense pine and citrus flavors of classic West Coast hops.

355 ml can, from bestofbeers.dk . ABV is 8.0%, Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of fruity, piney and spicy hops. The flavour is distinctly hoppy on a sufficient malty base. Grapefruity and spicy notes, with a resinous bitterness in the finish.

Can: Hazy, golden to deep golden, medium-sized and slowly collapsing white head, moderate bitter-sweet piney-fruity nose, honeyish malt underneath; moderate to - maybe - solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, very soft; lingering fruity (Riesling) hoppy finish with an increasing bitter-and tartness towards the aftertaste. Not earth-shaking, but very well balanced and very well drinkable...

Can, 0.355l. Hazy copper pour, one finger soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Good on the nose, fruity with some tropical touches, malt and grass in the background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Chewy texture, smooth mouthfeel. Bittersweet taste, surprisingly quite tamed. Easily drinkable. Hoppy aroma, tropical fruits, pineapple, pine, herbs. Mild caramel in the background. Barely noticeable alcohol, well balanced. Short to medium finish, slightly dry and fruity. Not bad.
