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

22 oz bomber thanks to Pete...Orangeish in color. One of those caramel-syrupy, orange juice like IPA’s. No thanks on this one... no bite and nothing to get excited about at all.

(bottle from archer)clear orange with alittle white head that leaves nice webbing on the snifter glass.i pick up some pine and lemon in the aroma but is more dominated by cotton candy and caramel malt.flavor is of pine,lemon,orange,cotton candy,and caramel malt.sorry but the hops need to be kicked up or this is an older bottle.

22oz bottle via homebrew Mystery swap..thanks Xnoxhatex!. Pours a hazy copper with an average size beige head. Nose is pure citrus hopiness.and then some! It tastes almost like smells but has a VERY DRY finish...and lots of grapefruit in the aftertaste.but again it is dry not sweet n juicy. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate/high. Quite good, but needs more flavor/dry hops to be GREAT......

Pours a brownish orange. Minimal head. Perfumed nose with mild citrus tones. Flavor is syrup like with hop character, of course. More of a bark like thing going on than anything else. This doesn’t carry the mass of citrus that other DIPAs do. Feels nice on the mouth, though a bit syrup like and sticky. This is a pretty nice DIPA. Certainly isn’t bringing a huge amount of character, but is smooth and nice to drink.

Pours ruby with a thin film of off-white head. Overpowering citrus and hop aromas. Starts off light and sweet, and ends with a strong hoppy bitterness. Very strong hop flavor, and a surprisingly well masked alcohol throughout. If you like hops, you’ll LOVE this beer.

22 oz bottle. Poured a hazy medium orange color. Head was thin and off white with decent retention. Some lace was left behind on the glass at the end and there was some floating debris in the beer. Aroma was of malty caramel with a buttery note. At times it almost smelled like cake batter or vanilla frosting. There was also some pleasant flowery hops. Sweet on the tongue, but balanced by moderate to assertive hop bitterness of about 7 out of 10. The flavor was very earthy with distinct tobacco, some dark wood, a bit of sassafras, and burnt toffee. There was also a decent amount of flowery hop flavor and, surprisingly, only touch of alcohol. Great beer.

A lot coming through in the nose--hop, malt, smooth boozy alcohol. A taste to match. Syrupy alcohol with a hop bite but quite a bit of malt.

Very hoppy, very bitter. I love this beer. Suprisingly smooth considering the absurd amount of hops in it. Just the right amount of body to smooth out the citrus, bitterness, and alcohol without being to sweet. Nice.
