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

Off color orange. Bitter and hoppy but not overelly. A little sweetness but overall kind of unremarkable.

Copper pour smallish white head. Sweet floral hops aroma. Watery on the palate hops and a slight tobaco note in the finish. If this is 10% abv then my tolerance is way up as I didn’t feel too much alcohol presence at all. Decent I2PA.

Pours deep copper into a shaker. Micro-bubble head with nice retention, gradual lacing as it recedes. Grapefruit and pine aromas. Upfront sweet thick malt which quickly turns to a lingering bitter hop citrus finish.

shared a bomber with illini08. we drank this after a side-by-side tasting of Founders Centennial & a Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, so I’m sure the bitterness of this one didn’t seem as harsh as it could have been. but that said, I enjoyed this one. citrus hop bitterness from front to back and while the hops overpowered the malt, there was still enough malt present to be detectable. one year ago I probably would have still been puckered up hours after finishing this one. So I guess its official, I’m a hophead, cause this was very enjoyable!

Clear deep orange/amber with a thin white head. Thick citrus aroma. Dry bitterness sets in at the start and follows all the way through to the long bitter finish. The bitterness overpowers the malt in this one.

Blast of intense hot aroma I could even smell while pouring. Deep orange-gold and hazy with hop sediment, big thick creamy head. Taste is cut grass, grapefruit, dandelion, silky palate, long bitter finish.

Thanks to JPDIPSO for the trade. Murky copper. Small off white head. Nose of resinous, piney hops, doughy yeast, and some subtle, slightly roasty malt. Flavor is the full hop spectrum, citrus, pine , resin. Nice supporting malt. Aftertaste of dry, gritty, peppery hops. Medium body is syrupy and lighter than expected with balanced carbonation. Perfectly named brew. If somebody made some hop juice, this is what it would be like.

This beer introduces itself with a healthy aroma of hops. It is a maize colored solution with a good off-white head and good lacing. This dry bitter beer offers the palate an abundance of hops. It fades with a hint of vanilla creeping in right at swallowing and then turns hoppy as it lingers.
