May 21, 2006 Bottled. Poured amber with a nice off-whgite head. Big hoppy aroma and the falvor matched. Piney, resiny, excellent! A fine Imperial IPA!

May 20, 2006 Updated: Apr 20, 2007Hary amber color with floral hop aroma. The taste is thin at first then it becomes smooth with a good ( not great ) hop explosion after taste.

May 16, 2006 Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Way too underated IMHO. Pours in a orange colour with a low bubbly head. Fresh grapefruity hop aroma with notes of pine-needles and a nice airy foresty tone. Light undertone of peaches. Piney and grapefruity flavour with a refreshing minrealy undertone. Notes of pear-peeös and dry mango notes. Not really heavy and not too sweet as some 2XIPA’s can be. This is a really oustanding example..

May 12, 2006 smell of hops and grapes. Taste of grapefuit and a sour/sweet bitterness at the end. I was expecting a higher hop taste. Not that impressed.

May 10, 2006 Lightly sweet aroma, and also very hoppy aroma. This is a well-balaned brew. The body color is cloudy orange, with barely a head at all. Robustly hoppped flavor. The finish is smooth and bitingly bitter which I really enjoyed. Floral notes complement the biterness. Chewy and very rich. A pleasant, sweet finish. I went back the next day to buy 2 more bottles of this stuff for later. Yum.

May 3, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy & tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Bright sunset red-orange with a small orangish head. Smells like CitraSolv concentrated orange cleaner and pure grapefruit juice - I mean that as a compliment. Smooth mouthfeel, and very nice flavour - hops are big and bold, but not obnoxious, with lots of sweet grapefruit notes. Hard to believe it’s 9.9% - I could easily put back a few pints of this, but I expect I would regret it the next day...

May 3, 2006 22 oz bottle. I thought this was remarkably balanced for a beer called ’Hop Juice’. It pours with a dark orange body with a small white head that has good lacing. Aroma is very citrusy - grapefruit and orange. Hops dominate the flavor but is very nicely balance by an orangey sweetness. Very tasty.

Thick overwhelming hop aroma somewhere in between flowers and fruits. Grape fruit is of course very much present and is a bit soapy. This beer is, however, not sweet at all. Hops are the focal point and it is very much present. Green teeth and all that. Alcohol content is very much hidden...
