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.)

deep amber color. very bitter hops which seem to be less balanced than some other IPA's or maybe they want it that way. Good to the last drop though.

Darwenus (386) - Virginia, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Poured bright, clear amber from the can with just an irresponsible amount of head. A mound of it. The aroma is citrus hops and sweet malt, and the flavor is hop forward with a slightly sweet aftertaste. More hops at the exhale. This is a pretty good IPA.

Aroma: Diacetyl and citrus. Appearance: Copper/amber with thick white head. Flavor: Biscuity malt, caramel and medium-high hop bitterness. Palate: Medium bodied with a long bitter finish. Overall: Nice IPA, although I prefer those with a more prominent hop aroma.

alcaponejunior (349) - Texas, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Very nice looking, lightly coppery and clear with a very nice two finger head that lasted and left sheets of thick, sticky lacing down all sides of the glass. Aroma is nice and hoppy, but there’s a nearly equal aroma from the malt base. Some caramel malt makes it way through, then earthy hops. The taste is also pretty well balanced, but slightly skewed towards the hops. I like the malt base, it’s flavorful and the body is pretty full, but it doesn’t overpower the hops. Plenty of hops flavors assault your tongue when you drink this, I get an earthy hops presence first, then some citrus and pine. Drinkability is high, as this one goes down pretty easy despite the medium body and strong hop bitterness finish. They did a good job on this beer. I will have to try more beers from this brewer.

Di colore arancio ramato, bel cappello di schiuma compatto nel bicchiere. Molto ben bilanciata con aroma citrico e resinoso. Gran bel finale per gli amanti del luppolo. Da provare per chi ama le IPA.

12 oz bottle, pours a orangish copper color with a thick fluffy white head that leaves good lacing. Smells of pine, citrus and caramel. Tastes of all the same thing’s in the smell with a slight honey flavor and a good hop bite in the back end. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with great carbonation. Overall this is one of the best balanced ipas I’ve had. As far as flavor goes it is pretty average.

Pours a nice orange honey color with a light tan cap. Rich foam with hoppy goodness. Smell is faint hops and malt. Flavor... The name says it all. It is loaded with hops with notes of apple and toffee. I would definitely recommend HopOttin. It is very rich and bold. Worth the buy. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
