Self-Defined Style:
IPA Hops. They are the cornerstone of India Pale Ales around the world, and our Hop Ottin’ IPA is no exception. Handcrafted with copious amounts of Columbus and Cascade, this beer is a showcase of bright citrusy aromas, bold grapefruit and pine-like flavors, and the resiny bitterness that hop heads crave. With a brilliant, deep amber color and solid malt backbone, hints of citron, roses, and bergamot climax with a dry, herbal finish in this well balanced interpretation of a West Coast IPA.
Best With:
FOOD PAIRINGS: Garlic fries, curry chicken, mahi fish tacos, carrot cake cookies
CHEESE PAIRINGS: Sharp Cheddar, Gorgonzola

Hop Ottin' Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pours a deep copper-orange with slight opacity and a firm, white head. Strong lacing.
Aroma: Intense hop aroma with considerable floral notes and mild citrus impressions.
Flavor: Begins with citrusy hops and sweet malts, smacking of honey and caramel. Eases its way into a resinous, piney flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with light carbonation. High bitterness to start subsides to a rich, sticky aftertaste. Lip-smacking, if you know what I mean.
Overall Impression: Another solid IPA from the West Coast. Great work.
Comments: I have (had, I drank it) only one bottle of this stuff but I will definitely try to have it again. Thanks, Jun, for giving me these 12 ounces of IPA excitement!
