COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer is brewed during the hop harvest with a portion of unkilned or “wet” hops fresh off the vine. Apricot in color, Broo Doo’s nose has dominant orange, pine sap and floral notes, balanced by a glazed nut and toffee malt body. This celebration of the hop harvest has intense tropical fruit, citrus and spicy accents that showcase the complexity of the hops we all love. October release.

Travlr (4540) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - JAN 23, 2012
Bottle shared with evanlarkin. Hazy variegated golden brown color, large white head with moderate retention. Aroma is detectable from across the room as soon as the bottle is opened, with giant bouquets of flowers and perfume with a bit of gras and Hawaiian islands. Taste is bready, slightly toasty bitter caramel Very nice stuff.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - JAN 20, 2012
Bottle. Thanks to SecretSanta. Pours cloudy golden with a small creamy head and lacings. Nose and flavor are dominated by fresh hops - but very well balanced and tasty. Pine, grapefruit, orange and a bit of soapy and perfumey hops. Smooth and crisp. Really lovely. Dry hoppy end.

portableparty (1008) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JAN 5, 2012
Bottle to snifter. Pours clear bright amber with a frothy off white head and leaves a sticky lacing. Aroma is pungent pine and fruity grapefruit with tropical scents. Taste is bitter and resinous pine and grapefruit with a sweet creamy spice in the finish. Palate is full creamy and sticky with a chalky dry finish. Really nice beer even after a few months of being fresh.

Oscbert (746) - Sacramento, California, USA - JAN 2, 2012
~Fresh citrusy aroma of orange, spruce, grapefruit with background of light biscuity malt. ~Pours a very hazy light orange color with small lasting white head. ~Strong hoppy flavor of orange and pine. Borderline of being too resinous. A bit grassy and somewhat harsh. Lots of sweet malt, some caramel. ~Medium body, med CO2, slight hop astringency. Long lasting piney bitterness. ~Excellent aroma. This would be a hit with hop lovers. A bit bitter and piney for me. Probably wouldn’t purchase this again because it isnt a style a care for, but I will enjoy this entire bottle.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - DEC 29, 2011
Serving: 22 oz. bottle via trade. It pours a hazy deep orange with a stiff white head. The nose is full of herbal hops and over ripe orange notes. In true IPA fashion, this one is all about the hops. There is a ton of citrus and dry herbal hop notes. Lots of lingering dank bitterness in this brew. Medium bodied with prickly carbonation. A nice IPA for the hop heads. Despite the description, I didn’t get much in the way of malt balance.

bittermestupid (247) - Canton, Ohio, USA - DEC 24, 2011
Pours golden with a nice ring of white head. Smells of pine, grapefruit, lemon and caramel malts. Taste a nice mellow hoppy pine, grapefruit with a solid malt backbone. Medium on the palate with a long pine finish, very nice.
