Pure Hoppiness - what a great name. Great smelling beer with plenty o'hops. A solid looking beer. Bitter slight malty flavor with tons of sweet bitterness at the finish. I could sniff this all day, but balance is somewhat lacking. This aroma with the Bell'sd two hearted or Stone IPA might be the best in the world.

Aug 13, 2008 On tap. Just not a lot of malt at all in this one, just a lot of clear, piney hops. Actually, slightly watery in sort of a refreshing way. Crisp and a little astringent. Straightforward and not very complex piney hops. Doesn’t seem to be agressive despite basically lacking in any malt flavor.

Aug 8, 2008 Pours a amber golden body with an off-white head. Nose is really hoppy with notes of elder flower. The flavor is of cause very hoppy, but i also taste grass, honey-melon - not very complex. The finish is long lasting and blooming. The palate is pretty waterish and fading - im missing a little more bite. But alltogether a fine and good beer.

Aug 6, 2008 From tap at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light peachy and grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is dense malty and solid hoppy fruity. Utterly wellbalanced and smooth. Medium dry hoppy finish with a nice bitterness.

Aug 1, 2008 Bottled sample via (and shared with) oakbluff. Very clear orange in colour with medium carbonation. This is a citrusy c-hop assault on the nose, with pine and grass notes following up. The clean malt flavors mix well with the huge orange-grapefruit hop explosion. Fine drying bitterness, with no alcohol notes (surprising for an 8% brew). Reminds me a bit of Two Hearted, but kicked up a notch. Great stuff.
