May 22, 2006 Dark golden ale with a thin off white head. Good hops in aroma, floral and resinous, but showing signs of oxidation. In mouth, good malt with alcohol warmth, simple and good. A decent I2PA. Bought in Chicago Nov. 2005. Sampled with Mtl crew, April 16 2006.

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.
