Jaysus (17), Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 11, 2004 Whoa, I love this brew... Very clear, with no visible 'yeasties' and a vicious hop bite - you will feel this one in your cheeks. Prostman (1075), Pennsylvania, USA Mar 14, 2004 This poured a cloudy yellow-gold with a medium sized white head. The flavor was super hoppy and really outstanding. I really enjoyed this beer. topherbecker (4), USA does not count Sep 24, 2007 One of my all time favorite hoppy beers. If you’re a fan of Bell’s Two Hearted, you’ll like this. Wonderful citrus in the hops. Great hop aroma and flavor with the malt to back it up. Nice thick mouthfeel. Perfect Double IPA. georgekappus (296), Brookfield, Connecticut, USA Apr 14, 2007 A true spectacle in hopdom. Hop Wollop has a beautiful hoppy aroma straight from the popping of the cap. The hop flavor that follows is just as extraordinary. An excellent hoppy brew from the first scent to the last sip. PisskyNight (13), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA May 10, 2004 ahhh....finally ... I can’t say much more or even well enough in summary as well as rich has said but here goes
Appearance: Nice bright gold hue....the body has a good 1/3 inch white frothy head....the head is near a sappyness in that it clings to the glass walls pretty nicely....
Smell: Great sweet apple/star-fruit/mellon aroma...hints of floral pine but a great overall nose satisfication
Taste: Great sweet delicate grapefruit taste without any bitterness....not sure how they did that...jolly rancher apple bursts...pears and mellons seem to be the underlying additive....great balance and depth...no malty backbone as rich has stated...nice hop punch... not as overwhelming as I was prepared for....but I like it that way
Notes: I am amazed with this limited release...there were only 32 cases I blieve that night and I am happy to say I have one of them...great stuff
: Reviewed this one again...I realised that my score was too low after drinking many of these for different reasons...possably a fealing of awe while scribbling on a hopdevil coaster
