Hop Kotan Comet Punch APA
5% 21 IBU

Nice gold color with thick eggshell white foam and a sweet fruity hop bouquet with some woodsy bitter notes. The taste is a mix of grapefruit pith and sweet tarts in hoppiness with a bit of grainy soda bread malt notes. It was on sale so long in the tooth but still solid.

Hop Kotan New Way IPA
American IPA 7% 60 IBU

Lovely brass color with thick dense off-white foam. Rich stone fruit and pine aroma. Fairly full bodied with a touch of resinous piney dankness and balancing bitter orange sweetness.

Solid stuff.

Nice stuff. Think it’s a mix of what were in previous years white or red grape sours. Perhaps preferred them separately, but this is still very nice.

7.5

Quite a full on taste for the strength. Resin, fruity, got that heft that is the fun part of a DIPA.
