Commercial Description:
Hop-Heads, your dreams have come true! Hop Ottin' is Boontling for "hardworking hops," and they're surely hard at work in this brew. Hop Ottin' starts with a strong floral aroma, which winds into a deep and complex body. In an intriguing balance, honey-drenched malts coat rich hop undertones. At length, the hops prevail, with a satisfyingly crisp finish. Hop Ottin' bites like a cankicky bluetail (Hop Ottin' bites like a rattlesnake looking for a fight.)

Shaker pint draft on the beer engine at Llywelyn’s Pub in Overland Park, Kansas. Pour is hazed orange golden with a small white head. Lacing coats the glass thickly. Aroma of faint grassy bitter resin hops. Some flower and herbs. Taste is bitter resin honey floral, some bright pine bitterness on the end. Palate is medium-thin, smooth and silky, coats and refreshes at the same time. Really tasty, nice one.

Pours an amberish color with a copper hue and the off white head has lacing with the pour. There is a lot of action with some yeast suspension. The taste is crisp with grapefruit hops and a caramel malt background. The mouthfeel is balanced with the balance of bitterness and alcohol with the malt smoothness. Very drinkable bitter type of IPA.

Bottle at Irish Rover, Louisville. Aroma was "hops out the wazoo" which actually came out of my mouth. Not as hoppy as Hoptimus, but a contender. Cloudy head with low carbonation. Hoppy flavor, shocker, with citrus and perhaps even cherries? Palate was very lively. Had this back to back with Two Hearted Ale, and actually liked this one better.
