Hopman pays homage to the sweeter side of El Dorado & Galaxy hop. Expect these hops to impart notes of blood orange marmalade, light aromas of sweet citrus, with a finish of honeydew melon, & traditional Italian aranciata. With Galaxy being imported from Australia, & El Dorado being sourced from Washington state, these hops have traveled from across the world to meet at your glass.

Its a thick, cloudy hazy IPA, a nice bright shade. Smells of mouth-watering pineapple and mandarin oranges, bold and sweet. It's flavor profile is reinforced upon tasting, sweet and well-hopped, with a delicious after-taste. Light and crisp, it's as good as any of the better HIPAs I've had this summer, and I'd definitely give it a 2nd go.

I you like a hoppy beer, this NE IPA does not disappoint. Besides the amusing cartoons on the can, the beer has a good head, cloudy character and a taste that keeps evolving. I love this beer.

Glad I found this unique juicy delight. Pours opaque yellow with a white cap that fades to a ring/skim, leaves ample lacing. Aroma is bright with citrus and melon. Flavors burst throughout the sip - the mix of citrus and melon notes playing so well together, yet yielding to an incredibly soft, never-bitter finish. Truly out of this world, and an immediate new recent favorite.

A very nice pour, hazy with a huge head, persistent, lots of lacing. Nose is full of mango, pineapple and citrus, flavor puts pineapple to the front, a touch of peach. The close is not dry, but clean enough to keep it easily drinkable. Lush and bright.
