May 24, 2007 Bottle, from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Hazy amber color, with a thin tan head. Grapefruit hop aroma, with a some malt. Flavor was heavy on the citric hops, but had good malt backbone. Finish was hoppy and a bit metallic.

May 12, 2007 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.

May 10, 2007 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.

Apr 27, 2007 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.

Apr 22, 2007 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.

Apr 17, 2007 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.
