beautiful lacing. a head to be jealous of, almost reminds you of a meringue pie! nice hoppy refreshness that lingers, but doesnt overwhelm the palate. nice copper color with a hint of marigold. flowery taste with a pleasant hint of grapefruit, not over powering though. label is a unique, eye pleasing marketing tool. i had it on draft in north ridgeville ohio, in a place i didnt expect to see it. when i saw it i got excited to know it was so popular. i just cant believe the head and lacing, none ive ever seen. phenomemal !!!!!!!!!!

Where do you start with the Hop3??? It’s an amazing combo of aroma and flavor. The 7.25% ABV is barely noticable... and the taste... oh wow! Thankfully I am able to drink this practically everyday, It has certainly ruined me for several other competing beers. Once you go Hop3 you will never go back!

Pours a clear light amber with a thin white head. Smell is citrus and pine hops. Taste is of woody/piney hops. Clean finish. A good beer but I tend to like the more citrusy IPAs.

Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of hops and other plant/floral scents. Nice slightly fruity initial taste, but then there’s a plant like flavor in the middle that lasts through the lightly bitter hop finish.

12oz bottle. Not a huge IPA guy but this bitty really impressed me. Pours copper with a small head. Nice and spicey IPA that goes has strong floral astrigent notes but yet has a rich fruit suggestions as well. Unbelievably balanced and has lots of complexity. My favorite IPA. Cant wait to get another one.

Pours a dark orange-amber with a thick, fine-bubbled head. Aroma is very hoppy, almost piny, promising an exceptionally hoppy beer. Flavor delivers what the aroma promises - exceptionally hoppy, with an undertone like the scent of a pine tree. Texture is smooth and pleasant, and aftertaste has just a little hop bitterness in it. Recommended to all hop lovers.

Pours a nice copper w/ thin head, spicy aroma w/ primary floral hops scent, nice lacing, intensely hopped but pretty malty for an IPA, the commercial description is accurate w/ nice balance of spice, citrus, and floral hops, finishes w/ primarily floral hops flavor - personally, i wish it was a bit more citrus/crisp with its finish, a good IPA
