Commercial Description:
Hop Juice is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This one is a real hop blast, dripping with the resiny soul of fresh Northwest hops. Don't come crying to us if it's too much for you; this one's for hopheads only! And get it now, cause when it's gone, it's gone. Boo hoo. 22.7 Plato 100.1 IBU

Pours hazy orange. Nice hops aroma. Flavor has a lot more sweet malt than is needed to balance the hops. Some nice pine and grapefruit flavors though. Good, but I don’t know how often I would buy a bottle in the store.

Pours hazy copper/orange with a 1 finger off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, and hops. Flavor is heavy on sweet malt and honeysickle with the hops in the background. Nice medium body with creamy mouthfeel. Not as balanced as I would have liked, a little too sweet. Solid IIPA though.

Pours a nice orange color, not much in the way of head, but seemingly a lot of carbonation. Pretty hoppy, if watery. Not overly metallica or flowery, just a run of the mill IPA. I would never have guessed it was actually a double IPA if it didn’t say so on the bottle. Perfectly sippable, just lacks any real punch. A totally OK beer, but at this price, I expect more. Bomber for this was was just a couple bucks cheaper than Dreadnaught, so I don’t really see me ever getting this one again.

quite a nice ipa. nice caramel sweetness in a quality straw malt backbone. the hop character is grapefruit with moderate bitterness. the carbonation is moderate and the beer has a good nose to it. one can hardly sense the alcohol. good beer. really not exactly a blast....but good beer.

Bomber. Pours a slightly hazy orange copper with a one finger head that left really good lacing. Nice freshly opened bag of hops aroma. Flavor was left a little shy of the aroma. The caramel sweetness is balanced by massive hop flavor, but it’s lacking the bitterness on the tongue in the finish. Medium body, somewhat dry texture, and light carbonation round out a very impressive beer from Two Brothers. It is a shame it will be gone, but with all those hops I think a bottle or two will last a little while in my stash.

Pineapple and roasted malt aroma with hints of bread. Thick, sustained head and rose colored body. Flavor is bready and hopped up. Bitterish, buttery, lighty hay and some caramel sweetness. Medium rich palate. Good.

Pours a deep amber with minimal head and some lacing. Aroma is s fruity sweet flowery hop aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, fruits, hops and grapefruit. Dry and surprisingly light bodied, bitter finish.

Bottle. A slightly hazy orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma is very hoppy and grassy, while the flavor is sweet hoppy - but a somewhat herbal hoppiness, that doesn’t quite do the trick for me. The mouth feel is slightly sticky. For some reason it was better warm.
