Aug 2, 2009 I’ve become a huge fan of the hops. The stronger the better it seems lately. So Hop Juice cam around at just the right time for me. I had this on tap at the Blind Tiger in NYC. Just a huge beer in every aspect.Poured a red, amber color with a slight but thick head. Smelled of hops and roasted malts. As I look back on my tasting notes, I read "Taste is like a rainbow hallucination." So there you go, it was a vast menagerie of hops with such dynamic flavors as citrus and caramel. Truly unreal: complex, satisfying - I couldn’t ask for a better IPA. Get your hands on this brew if you can.

Jul 30, 2009 Doesn’t look like anything special, mouthfeel is a bit thin, but the hops are impressive and are balanced out well with some malt. Good stuff.

Jul 20, 2009 Barely chilled:Lovely looking beer. Dark golden,mahogany with a big,milky head that leaves a nice ring. Big aroma of pine,and floral hops. Obviously malt in the aroma as well,more than expected. Little stinging bitterness to the big body which is just slightly syrupy,no biggie. Upfront hops,with big malt flavors and lingering hops.Like the hop selections here. Falls apart a little as it sits. Pretty tasty though.

Jul 20, 2009 Pours a deep clear amber with thick off-white head, minimal lacing. Aroma smacks you in the face with citrus hops, decent malt, slight grass, and a few spices. Flavor matches well and was thoroughly enjoyable.

Jul 14, 2009 This brew pours a hazy copper color with a medium thick off-white head that dissipates slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Citrusy hops aroma with a solid malt base, along with some piney notes. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character that has citrus and pine aspects. Sweet malt underbelly throughout. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
