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.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Brea, CA.] A hazy pale amber pour with a thick cream head; grapefruit citrus aroma; intensely bitter hoppy taste, that destroys the tastebuds. Not my kind of thing at all - so a drainpour on this occasion.

Super classic, resinous, piney, lime zest. Medi sweet, clean and mineralic, not too bitter at first but builds up a little. Tasty, clean, high drinkability.

35,5 cl can @ hotel room, Wrocław Aroma is rather sweet with tropical fruits and caramel. Flavour has fruit candy, alcohol, menthol, grapefruity hops and finishes with minerals. A solid DIPA in west coast style. A tad too dry in the finish though.
