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

Found at the coffee grounds in Eau Claire, WI. Bitter grapefruit hop nose with malty hints. Similar flavor with a lot more malt.

Poured into a RR tulip glass. Cloudy tangerine caramel colour. Initial white head that disapears into a dish soapy puddle. Nose is hop forward as expected and wanted. Taste- grassy hops and biscuity, cookie dough malts. Mouthfeel is creamy and malts are quite sweet. Hops are decent but they don’t jump out at you. Herbal and grassy- not the punch of pine and citrus I would have hoped for. Perhaps bottle is past its prime. The lament of the DIPA seeker. Finishes dry with an odd twang of an aftertaste. Booze is hidden- and is drinkable. Average DIPA.

Clear copper body with a large off-white head leaving good lacings. Another late night tasting with skimpy notes although my overall appreciation is probably trustable. Softly malted body with a light sugary sweetness is totally off-balanced by a more than generous amount of fresh juicy hops. The hops are very citrusy and a little soapy. The fruity bitterness is rather soft considering its hoppiness. Overall this Hop Juice is a hop juice. And that makes this rating about as redundant as a stuttering senile war veteran with a bad case of Alzheimer.

Sampled from a 22 ounce twist-off bomber. Hop Juice lives up to its name as a well blended hop smorgasboard. Citrus, pine, earthy Northwestern style bitterness in this 2XIPA. Sweetness there as well coming from the malts.

Fruity and floral aroma. Copper with a thin head. Nicely balanced flavour between sweet malts and crips hops. Farily smooth with a medium bitter finish.

22 oz. bottle, poured a fairly clear amberish color with a thick white head. Aromas of, well, let me see, hops, then some hops, then more hops. Very earthy and floral. I didn’t pick up on much citrus or tropical aromas. Very bitter flavor, again, toward the earthy floral spectrum. I wished there was some citrus notes but they were totally overwhelmed by the others. A sticky mouthfeel and a bitter, lingering finish.

Aroma of some hops and malt with some bitterness. Flavor was really sweet and thick. Not too bad but just overpoweringly sweet.
