COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A complex malt and hop theme park in your mouth
Named after the hop flower Humulus Lupulus, this India Pale Ale style beer has enormous amounts of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. With a very complex malt bill, flavors seem to meld with the hops to balance this ale and provide a ridiculous urge to sample more.

jkwood04 (2280) - Connecticut, USA - MAY 18, 2013
12oz bottle In a tulip. Pours amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and floral hops plus a good caramel and cereal malt profile. Flavor the same with a nice hop profile. Average texture. A decent IPA.

Ostomo517 (57) - Norton Shores, Michigan, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Pours golden amber , nose is, resin and piney. Palate is well rounded mix of layered hops and perfectly selected malts. This beer is the definition of balanced. Nice lingering bitterness in the aftertaste.

Scrapersnbeer (977) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 6, 2013
Piney aroma with a good malt presence as well. Golden orange color, oddly still. Sharp bitter flavor, fades to a long, dry sweet malt. Body is not particularly hearty, as if it needed some extra carbonation. Moderately strong well balanced IPA.

RobertDale (1881) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - MAY 5, 2013
12 ounce bottle. Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus and pine. Taste is grapefruit, pineapple, malt, yeast, and pine. Very nice IPA.

artmcd8 (640) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 30, 2013
Pours a slightly cloudy orange color. Aroma of pine and some malts. Pretty damn bitter in the taste. This isn't usually something I look for in this style. Also a tad on the thin side. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

RichTheVillan (828) - West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 25, 2013
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; bright amber pour with thin white head, sweet malt aroma, not getting much hop out of this out of balance malts are predominate with some mandarin and caramel, looking at other reviews should be hoppier can’t see bottling date, could be old and hop resins have dissipated.

ads135 (1571) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - APR 14, 2013
Light appearance with virtually no head. Aroma is typical of IPAs, this one being pretty strong and dominated by pine and grass. The flavor is incredibly potent and a bit off putting. Too much citrus dominating the caramel malts.

shrubber85 (5972) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - APR 7, 2013
Bottle. Orange and orange peel/pine aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with nice off-white head. Sweet orange and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Nice body. Solid.
