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

Bottle from hopdog. Thanks! Exploded out of the bottle and out of the glass when it was poured. Dull floral and herbal hop aroma. More sweet/toasty/maybe roasty?, malt and honey than anything. Over carbonated, flat hops, too much malt. Not my cup of tea. I would like to try again because it may have been a bad bottle.

Cask at Barcade, Brooklyn, New York. This was the only cask conditioned beer available and it was the best beer I had that night. It’s hazy, rich, chewy, with a very sweet body and a long, lingering, complex hop bitterness. I’ve since bought a "growler" bottle as a souvenir.

Cask at Barcade: Deep copper pour with a small but strong off-white head. Sweet & sticky hop aroma, honeyish, with only mild tropical fruit notes (honey soaked mangoes). Sticky sweet body with a honey-sweet flavor, which is almost reminiscent of almond paste. Some hop character is evident, but it’s too sweet to be a qunching/quaffable IIPA; in my humble opinion.

cask at MAnhattan Cask Ale Festival. Tried it twice, immediately after I’d tapped it and again the next day. Obviously hazy at the first sample, but cleared by the second. Both times absolutely superb piney aroma, followed by pine & citrus hop flavours, that amazingly manage to hide the alcohol burn, no mean feat at this strength. A deliciously dry, long lasting aftertaste nicely finishes off this impressive offering. Were it not for all the other new beers, could all too easily have had a session on this

Bomber. Clear copper with a frothy off-white head, leaving spotty lacing. Nice 2IPA tropical fruit hop aromas-pineapple, mango, passionfruit, etc. Sharp piney hop flavors on the initial sip, but mellowing to more of a citrusy hop character which infuses a clean caramel malt body. Consistent resiny bitterness underneath. Well executed 2IPA.

Your typical IIPA, although this one has a nice hop flavor to it. It’s very citrusy, though the palate is a bit too harsh. This beer would be great if more of the IBU’s came from flavor and aroma hop additions. Other than that, it ain’t to shabby.

22oz bottle poured into chalice. wonderful rusty color, swirling foamy head that settles quickly and evenly, then dissipates to only remnants within a minute. nose is pure hops, hops as i know them, hops as i enjoy them. not even a hint of booze in the aroma, and even more amazing no hint in the flavor either!

Tap at Pacific Standard. Clear deep amber beer. Very fresh and bright hoppy aroma. Orange citrus, light pine and grapefruit with a little bit of floral character. Very fresh juicy hop aroma with a bit of resiny character as well. Lean body initially but the finish is lightly sticky and sweet. Soft and fruity with a lingering herbal bitterness. A bit of breadiness on the back. Really tasty hoppy brew.
