Commercial Description:
Hop-Heads, your dreams have come true! Hop Ottin' is Boontling for "hardworking hops," and they're surely hard at work in this brew. Hop Ottin' starts with a strong floral aroma, which winds into a deep and complex body. In an intriguing balance, honey-drenched malts coat rich hop undertones. At length, the hops prevail, with a satisfyingly crisp finish. Hop Ottin' bites like a cankicky bluetail (Hop Ottin' bites like a rattlesnake looking for a fight.)

Hazy orange in colour with moderate carbonation. Woodsy aromas dominate, with background notes of nuts and orange blossom honey. Flavor wise, there’s a fair amount of citrus-spice-wood C-hop flavor, along with a fairly honey sweet undercurrent of caramel malt notes. Not nearly as bitter as I wanted it to be... seems to be more of an APA in terms of hop/bitterness levels, but it’s still a fairly good beer overall. Thanks to radiomgb for traking this one down for me!

Poured a tan/orange color with a fluffy white head. Honey malt, and floral scents in the aroma. It’s bitter but not overly. Better than most IPA’s but it might be a little bitter for some people.

Clear orange amber, orange-kissed puffy head. resinus hop aroma, citrus oils, sweet. sweet caramel malt platform with a mostly resinous, but also fruity hop character. Finish is long and bitter.

Pours a light tan color with a small white head. Has a hoppy aroma and taste, but not many layers. Would probably pass this up for other IPAs
