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.)

A wonderfully balanced IPA. The head remainded for the duration with tons of lacing. A very floral and citrus hoppy flavor. Easily of the best IPA out there. Well done.

Never rated way back when. Had tonight again. Nothing like the Pliny from last night, but decent bitterness and hops. Not intense. But when Anderson Valley is a regular thing here in Missouri soon, it can serve as a session beer.

Bottle.This beer started with really bad impression after first smell and sip. But with every next sip it was rising in me. I don’t like head in it. Not pleasant in aroma and touch. Beer is yellow-brownish. Aroma is hoppy as hell. Flavour is of citrus and extremely dry and hoppy finish. After all - really pleasant beer to me :)

12oz bottle from Total Wine, Durham. This beer remains a pleasure to me, not just because it was one of my early craft beer faves but because I still find it a well balanced example of a Cali IPA. Nice bright orange pour with lots of carbonation. Pleasant citric aroma and a big body despite the fact that this is not the maltiest IPA.

Bottled sampel courtesy of piscator. Crisp and clean with nice hop aftertaste. Great at the office.

On tap @ Map Room. Pours orange with a nice white head. Nice pine and grapefruit aroma and flavor. Good malt balance. Not a hop bomb by any means, and not a lot of lingering bitterness. Solid beer though.
