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.

Vrij soapy. Nog wel te drinken maar het doet wel afbreuk aan het geheel.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 29/12/20. Clear golden amber with a decent white head. Nose is bitter orange, grapefruit, pine needle, ripe melon, grass. Taste comprises orange pith, pine needle, grapefruit, citric tinged straw, mango, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly aggressive balanced hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking and approachable old skool leaning DIPA.

Can from HoTM. It pours clear golden - amber, with s thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and piney, resinous, sticky, tangerine, orange marmalade, grapefruit, and some floral accents. The taste is dry, bitter, piney, resinous, slightly sticky, floral vibes, green, west coast were, peppery spice, hay, pithy, citrus peel, grapefruit and a touch of alcohol. Medium body, moderate carbonation and slightly sticky mouth feel as it warms. Pleasant and straightforward. Not much depth, but enjoyable nonetheless.
