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.)

On tap. Pours gold into a shaker. Grapefruit and pine aromas. Nice lacing. Tastes like is smells -- light grapefruit and pine. Lingering bitter finish.

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

[1605-20080816] 355mL bottle. Aroma has a bit of citrus sweet lemon peel. Hazy, light brown orange body with quick white bubbles. Bit of hoppy grains flavour with some dark yeasty malt. Medium body. Good.

Beautiful amber pour with a beige head and good lacing. Nose is a subtle mix of floral, pine and earth. At first taste, the malt comes out, but is rapidly enhanced by the hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is clean and silky and the finish has hops echoing down the throat. I may have found a new favorite (I don’t know how I’ll break the news to Titan).
