Bomber. Huge aromatic smack of grapefruit, lychee, hop oil, and pine. Very, very hoppy. Clear orange body, orange-tinged soapy beige head. Taste is extremely hop-heavy, oily full mouthfeel and a aftertaste like the main course: dry, bitter, and hoppy. Slightly warming. Avoids the disturbing bitterness of many IIPAs, meaty, structured malt. Floral with light bready notes. Slightly more than liquid hops, and a good one! Thanks, Jake!

UPDATED: APR 22, 2007 Tap at Capone’s. Somewhat dark amber with o/w head that dissapated quickly. This was very dissapointing. A clash of quite sweet, minimal flavor malt with very abrupt, harsh bittering hops. The two didn’t go together at all. No pleasant flavors of malt or hops here. Alcohol was noticable as well. Quite shitty. F U Deschutes. I was very reluctant to try your Hop Henge, now I won’t touch any of your offerings again.

Tap - Eastside Tavren
A deep hoppy aroma and a great golden color this was a great brew, This had flavor, life and balance. Whata great strong Imperial IPA.

Draft: Pours a deep orange/red with a nice finger and a half white head. Strong citrusy hop and some honey malts underneath. Flavor has tons of hop citrusyness of orange and grapefruit. Nice sweet maltyness underneath. The bitterness lingers on your tongue.

Pours a rather dark amber color. Nice, fluffy head diminishes, but leaves a nice trail all the way up the glass. Nose is some light malt, fruit, and some grapefruit. The body is thick, creamy toffee malt with layers of hops. A nice, grapefruit bite lingers, with some alcohol warming and a sweet finish. Middle of the pack for an Imperial IPA, which of course makes it quite good.

Delicious beer. Reminded me somewhat of Dogfish 90. However, Hop Henge is much smoother. Alcohol warmth without bite.

22 oz bottle shared with padrefan98. Lots of fruity hop aromas off this golden orange pour. Nice fluffy head too. Aromas were apricot/mango/citrus. Some floral notes as well. Flavor was about the same with a nice bitterness coming in with grapefruit and orange. Pretty good stuff.
