On tap at White Duck Taco Shop. Poured a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange, guava and caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

Appropriately named. Full of citrus tropical aromas and flavors. The aroma is where this beer thrives. I think hops are my pheromones. Well done Boojum. My first beer from this brewery and it did not disappoint.

Probably my most favorite and top tier local brewery! Boojum Hop Fiend IPA 12 oz. can pours a very nice thick white head over a medium golden body with nice lively action and goodness bits floating around.
Great aromatics fill the air as it fills the glass and nearly goes over. Fresh chopped greenhouse of aromas invite you in fora blast of grainy malts and a complex blend of hops that just keep on . Better every time I try it. Perfect for sprung time when plants are poppin. Truly a great, unique fresh IPA

Had a 24 oz draft serving with lunch today at Binion's Roadhouse in Hendersonville 5-15-21 for $6.50.
Beer was served a clear golden with a nice white head.
Nose was a pleasant mix of citrus and floral hops.
Taste was classic WCIPA, a nice lighter pale malt base hopped nicely with grapefruit, orange, and a touch of mango. Finishes with a nice piney bite; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied, refreshing and easy to sip.
Overall a solid IPA that i would recommend to those who like old school. Will need to check out other Boojum brews!

Appears Hazy golden yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, citrusy, lemony, grapefruit.
Taste follows the nose.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very nice bitter end IPA that I would definitely order again.

12 oz can served in a Belgian snifter. Revisited in August 2024.
Appearance. Pours with a clear pale amber body with a decent white head.
Overly dank aroma with some citrus and other tropical fruits.
The flavor is less dank and more grassy than the aroma suggests, and adds more tropical fruit notes.
Moderately bitter for style with lingering grapefruit peel in the aftertaste.
Feel: medium body with medium carbonation and a dry finish.
