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.)

Poured a copper color. Very hoppy, but not too much so that the beer is too bitter. Hits the palate hard in the beginning, but smooths out towards the end. Great citrus taste, that starts out bitter, but ends sweet

My IPA of choice last night - didnt let me down. Maybe a little too sweet up front, but it turns around and finishes nice and dry. Usually like my IPA’s out of a bottle so maybe the tap smoothed it out. 7% seems to be a good place for ABV, gives it some kick without being noticeable.

Poured from the bottle to a hazy golden orange with thin white head that lingered well and left okay lacing. Aroma was a very pleasant hoppy citrus, and mouthfeel of this full-bodied beer was tangy and biting. Flavor was more of the hoppy citrus fruit at first, but the 7% abv and a touch of sweet malt entered in at mid-glass. This all led to a pleasant finish of medium duration that was nice and bitter, yet subtly sweet.

12oz bottle. First time I’ve had this beer. Pours a light orange color with a small white head. Aroma is fresh hops, nice hop bite, but also has a malty mouth feel and a bitter aftertaste. Decent lacing. I was pleasantly surprised and glad I added this to my mix and match 6 pack.

Fresh rusty orange color beneth a respectable off white head. Strong floral aroma, lots of piney hops, and resin in the nose. Medium bodied with a thick, chewy texture. Finishes somewhat bitter and "soapy".

12oz bottle from Acknud. Deep golden/orange pour. Nice one finger head. Grassy aroma. Nice bitterness up front with grapefruit and floral notes. Malt does not match up with hops. Good IPA though.
