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.)

Two finger cream colored head dissolves slowly leaving good lacing over a clear honey amber body. Nice, but not strong, citrus and piney fir aromas. The alcohol is a tad pronounced, but there’s a nice dance of strong bitter hops and sweet malts on the tongue. Residual dry minty pucker after it all goes down. Worth watching for on tap.

Clear golden orange body with a creamy off-white head that leaves an exceklent lacing. Aroma is distinctly dry hopped, inviting to a mouth fill that does not dissapoint. Lovely bitterness with a long aftertaste. There is a metallic touch in there, but not enough to do any lasting damage. A smooth drink.

12 fl. oz. bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7%. Deep golden colour, big off-white head. The aroma has plenty of fruity American hops, notes of fresh orange marmalade and grapefruit. The flavour is a solid hoppy attack from start to finish, with a subdued malty sweetness in the background. Very bitter aftertaste.

355 ml bottle at home. Clear amber color, nice white head. Aroma is typical american hoppy. Flavor is a fine combination of half sweet malt and floral/fruity hops. Fine bitterness in the finish. Not extreme, but a well balanced IPA.

Clear amber pour with a lively khaki froth. Body shows little effervescence and some hop residual floaties. Aroma is grassy and floral with undertones of biscuit and honey. Flavor is moderately resinous with citrus notes and honey-caramel. Palate is medium bodied, resinously smacking, exuding low effervescence. Finish is clean and crisp.

Bottle (35 cl) at Ölrepubliken, Göteborg, Sweden. Shady golden, medium white head. Apricot and citrus hop aroma, upon a solid earthy malt base. Medium bodied and smooth. Dry with medium bitterness. Quite good, but a dream come true for hop-heads, I think not.
