COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
What’s a craft brewery to do when all the “typical” IPA hops are gone? Innovate of course, just like craft breweries always have. Hoptimization uses big, bold, bitter hops to get a clean citrusy flavor you’ll love and the bitter bite that you crave. Step away from typical and try something new.

Just awesome, and totally unexpected from this new Virginia brewer. I expected east coast hoppy beer (earthy and more brittish in style) but found it pleasantly californian (citrus, bright, floral). I’d drink this all the time if I lived in Harrisonburg.

Growler pour. Gold. Sweet citrus aroma. Taste is sweet, light pine, bit of soap. Finishes pleasantly dry with a lasting bitterness.

Very well balanced IPA. Good mouth feel and nice aroma, bit earthy with a solid citrus/floral backing. Easy to drink, almost too easy, with no alcohol burn.

Drake (6488) - Ivy, Virginia, USA - FEB 15, 2013

Draft at Beer Run. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Poor head retention. Aroma of herbal, citrus and tropical hop notes with a bit of a tinny note. The taste is herbal and citrus hops, pale malts and a bit of canned fruit. Medium bodied. Disjointed and minor flaws, but could easily be improved into an excellent beer.
