Fresh notes of passionfruit, guava & stone fruits come from a variety of hops we carefully selected to pair with the piney flavor of a classic Double IPA. With all its flavor coming exclusively from hops, 2XHop'd perfectly balances between hoppy and fruity to create the ideal DIPA for any occasion

Poured into tulip from 12 oz can, middle of use by date. Color is bright clear amber with medium white silky head that persisted a bit. Aroma is really interesting, quite fruity. Taste is somewhat to match with quite a present tropical lush fruitiness. Medium weight in the mouth, clean finish with pleasant aftertaste with not a lot of booziness, given the high-ish ABV. I'd definitely buy this one again.

A - Medium gold pour with perfect clarity and a thin layer of creamy white lacing resting on top, carbonation is slow and steady.
S - Aroma is herbally, citrus fruity.
T - Guava with some light herbal presence (possibly from the stone fruit?).
M - Medium body with prickly carbonation.
O - Solid middle of the road and I'm OK with that. An easy drinker.

Good looking offering; clear amber, large off white head and plenty of lacing. Dank aroma with notes of tropical fruit, stone fruit and resinous hops. Flavor doesn't stray too far from those boundaries and leans mostly on the fruitiness. A little kick in the aftertaste helps a bit. Medium bodied, suitably carbonated mouthfeel. Overall, not offensive but not seeing anything new or exciting.

like this outfit; don't necessarily like all their beer. but this one i kind of like & apparently more than most on this site. not sure how it gets 83 based on reviews i see but ok
L: from the can. the can is cool
S: aroma is unusual for ipa. definite sweetness. bit of citrus, bit of pine.
T: delivers on the nose. definitely a bit of an outlier for the style. sweet, some citrus, some pine, bit of bitterness on the end. i guess it just works for me.
F: smooth, medium body
O: i like it - try for yourself!

Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is gold, transparent, head is off white with fine bubbles, head presents one finger thick and then dissipates to solid top, some spotty lacing.
Smell is light sweetish malt, notes of toast and honey, hops are pine, earthy, and citrus.
Taste is hop forward with malt interlude: notes of pine, earth, citrus, light herbal hops, then light sweet malt with light honey and caramel.
Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness.
Overall a classicly styled hop forward, bitter with solid malt backing.
