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.)

Bottle from bigmmartin. Amber with a big impressive head. Pine and flower hop aroma rounded nicely with a lot of maltiness. Flavor is big on sweetness and bitterness. Very drinkable. Its good to try an IPA that seperates itself from the crowd.

Hazy orange in colour with moderate carbonation. Woodsy aromas dominate, with background notes of nuts and orange blossom honey. Flavor wise, there’s a fair amount of citrus-spice-wood C-hop flavor, along with a fairly honey sweet undercurrent of caramel malt notes. Not nearly as bitter as I wanted it to be... seems to be more of an APA in terms of hop/bitterness levels, but it’s still a fairly good beer overall. Thanks to radiomgb for traking this one down for me!

Bottle. Darkish orange color with a thick head that leaves a ton of lacing. Has a deep sweet malt aroma accented by some flowery hops. The flavor is also very malty, more so than most IPAs...but you can still definitely taste the hops. One of the maltiest IPAs I’ve had, but it is still balanced out by a bitter hop finish. Interesting beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice mahogany/orange color with a full off-white head. Aroma is of pine and hops with some citrus. Plenty of hops in the flavor, but a nice presence of malt to balance the act. A very good beer with great character. I’d like to pair this brew with pan fried trout, mixed greens and wild rice.

Poured a pretty clear orange color with an off white head. aroma was of some citrusy hops and a maltiness also. Flavor was a nice and smooth hoppy flavor but balanced very well. Nice non overbearing IPA.

Bottle from Ledgers Liquor San Fransisco. Pours an almost clear amber with a yellowish frothy head and lacings. Lots of bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Quite floral in the beginning but has lots of grapefruit towards the end and in the finish. Medium bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Good.

Bottle pours amber with a small head. Hoppy aroma with some malt. Taste is of heavy hop, malt, & biscuit. Pretty well balanced. FInish is lightly bitter. Mouth is lightly carbonated.
