Hop Ottin' IPA is as hoppy as they come. The name means "hard working hops," in Boontling, and that tells it all. Generous additions of high-alpha Pacific Northwest hops added during a vigorous boil, plus traditional dry hopping, with whole hop cones, give this ale a delicious citrus aroma, and an intense hoppy bite. This IPA is a hop lover's dream.

Best With: 
This IPA's generous hop character makes it an ideal pairing with spicy foods such as barbecue, dry-rubbed ribs, or ethnic cuisine such as curry based Indian food, wasabi based Japanese dishes, or spicy Thai entrees.

Hop Ottin' Tasting Notes

somper's picture

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!
