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.)

Blurred, deep amber appearance with a well laced, large white head. Citrus hop aroma; some pine. Hops dominate the taste along with some subdued, underlying, grainy malts. Slight hint of sourness in the dry, bitter finish.

Bottle. Aroma starts with light bread for the malt, moderate orange peel and resin for the hops, light dought for the yeast, and a faint note of cherry. Head is creamy, off-white, has excellent, and is fully lasting. Color is sparkling clear amber/orange. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. A nice IPA, full of fruity aromas one would expect from a quality brewer.

Solid IPA. Nice hop aroma to it. Would have liked more hop bite to it.

Pours clear, brand-new-penny copper. Fluffy white head. Oranges, grass, some ethyl and dust, but mostly a floral aroma. Crisp, biting hops. Pepper, honey, resin, without the malt getting in the way. Hard bite for hop heads.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice hop aroma, with scent of sweet oranges. Good mouthfeel, medium caramel, strong hop, very aromatic, with toffee tones. Extremely powerful and long final, a bit fruity too and resiny.
Tasted side to side with Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, the latter wins.

Very nice. Yes, I am a hophead. Hops are in abundance here. Taste is superb with a good balance between sweetness and hops.

Pours a hazy amber colour with one of the most impressive head I have ever seen. A frothy rocky mountain large off white head. Retention is phenominal as it heavily laces the sides of the glass. Aroma of grapefruit hops, pine, metallic, soap and some malts. Initial taste of syrupy sweet malts balanced by bitter hops. Finishing with bitter hops and mild caramel malts. Medium body, palate duration is good. Very drinkable and most definitely presentable.

Piney citrus aroma with notes of honey in the aroma. Pours pale amber. Piney, a little catty up front, sweet malts and citrus hops round out the flavors. Over-all a very enjoyable and drinkable IPA.
