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.)

wow. that is a really nice IPA. i love the pine needle taste and the citrus character. seems close to perfect as i have ever tasted. the carbonation is highly moderate and the mouthfeel is moderate. this brings out a refreshing characteristic that is expert balance. no hint of alcohol. lightly malted which we hop heads don’t mind that much. mild woody feel and taste.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is hops, grass, fruits and some mild wooden notes. Flavour is fruity and flowery hops along with some wooden and nectary notes. Also some mild grainyness in the finish.

A simple brew with lots of hop bitterness, but well constructed from that stand point. It is a pretty singular bitter brew, a lot of hop bittering on the finish, some malts but hardly noticeable. Amber in color, with a strong lacing, clean palate, and bittery asparin like finish.

Bottle from the Liquor Box. Good aroma, smells of fruity hops. Color is a surprisingly clear orange with lots of carbonation. Nice head, good lacing. Flavor is mostly hops, and some sweet malts. Mouthfeel is also solid, and it leaves a nice coating that you can taste afterwards. 7% is well hidden and it’s a solid brew.
