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

Aroma is an explosion of candied pineapple and tropical fruits. The flavor is good, but not as amazing as the aroma. Tastes of the same fruits as well as herbs.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a crystal clear amber color with a thick, rocky beige head that slowly faded. Some extra thick lacing was left around the glass. The aroma consisted of grapefruit and caramel. The flavor was very nice!! It was made up of a strong caramel malt presence at the beginning that turned into a fruity, sweet, citrus bitterness. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and slightly oily. Just the right amount of carbonation. This beer was really well done. Excellent balance and flavor for a double IPA.

Pure copper in color, excellent clarity with an average off white head. Sticky lacing throughout the drink. Nose is excellent. Lots of piney hops, lemongrass, floral citrus and sweet malt. No hint of the 10% ABV. Medium in body with a crisp, slightly tangy finish. Hard to believe this is 100 IBUs. A very good beer from this local brewery.

22 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a hazy amber color with a thin off white head. Lacing is very light with tiny spots. Aroma is citrus hops and very light toasted malt. Flavor is mostly citrus hops, light esters, and light malt. The hops seem to linger on the palate which is a little thin. Alcohol is fairly well hidden. Medium body. A nice beer, but doesn’t quite fit the 2IPA bill. Thanks Wendy and Bill.

On cask @ B3W downtown Indy. Poured hazy (slightly) light copper with frothy off white head. This beer has a big citrus grapefruit hop aroma with sweet malts. The cask draft seems to have muted the hoppy aroma a bit. I taste grapefruit hop bitterness and sweeter grapefruit hop flavor along with a refreshing undercurrent of malt sweetness. Spot on IIPA on cask. Delicious.

#100 This is one of the beers that really got me excited about beer and imperial IPAs in general. Besides for celebrating this beer I would like to celebrate this brewery as a huge inspiration for me. 22 oz bomber purchased at cardinal liquors. Dark golden off-white head. Great orange/piney aroma. Sweet with nice grapefruit bitterness, some kiwi as well. Med body. Very good overall and sorry that DrewBeerMe did not get a good bottle/did not enjoy it this year.

another pretty good dipa. The hops dont hit ya to bad, pretty easy drinking for a 10% brew for sure. Good balance, but still a little to sweet for my liking.
