Notes / Commercial Description:
Our Hop Ottin’ IPA is brewed and dry-hopped with copious amounts of Columbus and Cascade. This beer is a showcase of the bright citrusy aromas, bold grapefruit and pine-like flavors, and 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.

Nice looking IPA with an amber color and minimal head. Scent is a bit less bold than I would expect. I'm getting pineapple, citrus and slight melon with a slight malt edge. Nice smooth flavor of citrus and slight pine. Good feel to this beer with a nice mouth coating and yet a crisp finish. No alcohol in the mix. Not very bitter. Quality beer.

Poured to a tulip glass.
A: The body is a bit hazy between orange and copper. The head is minimal with good retention. No lacing.
S: There's tons of fruit, pineapple, resin, grapefruit, orange, lemon zest. It's rather good.
T: The taste has some citrus some of lemon and orange, there's some grapefruit and hoppy profile in the back.
M: Body is medium to medium high. Carbonation is good. Bitterness is minimal.
O: Nice surprise.

Amber color with copper hues, almost clear. Foam white, high durability, the walls of the foamed glass leaves rings.
The aroma mainly malt, caramel background are the resin and fruits.
The resin turned up the taste this beer, further fruits that give freshness. Heavy notes of malt and caramel are muted. For a long finish herbal resin bitterness, slightly astringent, including beer completely do not mind.
The loading medium toward the high suitable

Look: pours amber copper color - decent creamy two finger head - sticky resiny feel to this one. Aroma is sweet caramel / toffy malt. Taste is rather thick and malty, more like a malt forward IPA - akin to the Colorado or midwestern style. Not a West Coast at all IMO - way too dark/dank hops. Overall it's a decent beer - worth a try and easy to find in the can at your local Trader Joes.
