COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
If there were ever a beer that so quintessentially captures the spirit of the primordial past on planet Earth, it has to be the Hop Nest Monster. Bursting with the aroma of the American Amarillo hop, like the eruption of a great and tempestuous volcano, the Monster makes a bold and intimidating impression even before it reaches the palate. As an all-malt American IPA, over an entire pound per barrel of fragrant and floral Amarillo hops are added to the brew kettle during the final minutes of the boil. This process is known as late-kettle hopping.

swoopjones (4325) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Draft at Deliaha’s in Chicago. Orange colored pour. Frothy head. Citrusy orange hops, decent nose. Decent citrus hop flavor. Far from dynamic but a quaffable IPA

Dogbrick (6178) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Pours a somewhat cloudy dark yellow color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, caramel and grainy malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short fruity hops aftertaste. Just average overall.

backdaft (145) - Menasha Red Light District, Wisconsin, USA - APR 8, 2013
Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber color with a thin, quickly diminishing head that leaves no lacing. Aroma and taste are strange vegetal flavors and buttery diacetyl. Drain pour.

GuinnessHong (146) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 17, 2013

womencantsail (7100) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - JAN 2, 2013
Orange pour with a white head. Nose is cheesy and buttery. Grass and overcooked vegetables, a bit of pine, sweet bread, and water. What a nose. The flavor is more of the same. Tastes like cheese and boiled broccoli. Some butter added for good measure. Sweet bread, water, pine, and a very light bitterness. Garbage.

abcfan (591) - New Jersey, USA - DEC 19, 2012
Decent. Pours hazy yellow orange. Aroma is primarily sweet malt. Light carbonation, medium bodied. Finishes with a slight sweet butter flavor. Nothing bad I can say about this one, but nothing overwhelmingly great either.

madvike (2128) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 13, 2012
Bottle - Pours hazy amber with a thin filmy white head. Nose is a bit of grapefruit with some dank garlicy hops mixed in. A bit of nail polish mixed with some sweet bread malt. Taste is dank, citrusy hops, but not terribly pungent. Greasy and oniony, with a decent amount of bready malt. Slick and medium bodied with smooth carbonation

Blairgus (1798) - California, USA - NOV 19, 2012
19 nov 2012, bottle. Light gold, clear, no bubbles. Nose is a bit skunky, dry wilted flowers. Thin body and moderately fizzy. Skunky, weird off flavor, some resiny hops. Not nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
