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. Earthy hoppy aroma. A bitter finish with heavy hop body. A great taste with a nice aroma.

22 oz. bottle - a great example of an IPA that is all looks and aromas, but almost no flavor; another disappointing brew from AVBC

Soft, well balanced IPA. I always look for crazy hopped IPAs but this is nice and very enjoyable.

Bottle @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours a hazy amber color with a small white head. Malty aroma with some hoppy citrus hints. Sweet malty hoppy flavor with some hints of grapefruit. Dry malty finish with some hoppy hints.

Pours a hazy amber color with a decent, inch high tight white head. There was a thin trace of lacing. The scent was of hops, light citrus, grapefruit, spice and some earthy tones. The taste was very hoppy and bitter with a long bitter finish. There is a bit of a soapy afterbite.

Bottle. Pours slightly murky dark amber / orange with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is citrusy hops, with malt backing and some floral hops. Flavor is sharply hoppy and bitter with considerable malt backing and lots of resin and grapefruit, gaining a bit more malt towards the middle, and a long, kind of earthily bitter finish. Very good.

Big foamy off white head over a murky orange amber beer. Nose of orange peel and cereal grains. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel with honey, buscuity malts, and lots of hops. The finish has sharp resin, pine, and old orange zest notes. I’ve had this beer many times over many years, and I always find it just an okay beer.

Not much aroma or flavor at first. OK, I get it now. This needs to warm up a bit. Lots of flowery hoppy flavor. OK malty backbone too. Solid IPA. Would be especially good in a bomber or on draught.
