Jul 22, 2009 22 ounce bottle purchased at the Davis Food Co-Op. Aroma is of candied sugar with some ethanol and a little bit of spicy hoppiness. Not overly quaffable. Transparent copper body with a medium off-white head. Scant lacing. Light sweet start, before this becomes peppery, ethanolic, burning, and harsh. Lots of booze, not a lot of body. Some late grapefruit hops. Unimaginative and barely drinkable.

Jul 11, 2009 Draught at OT. Rather small hop aroma for a double IPA. Small head. Big hop taste with a well balanced bitterness. Good caramell and sweetness.

Jul 1, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to illidurit. Orange with a lasting white head. The aroma was a bit lacking for a DIPA, with some pine, light spice, and earthy, oniony hops. The flavor is hoppy with a bitter piney finish, sweet grainy malts, and light spice. Medium bodied. Lasting bitterness in the finish. While the bitter/malt balance is good, the hop aroma and flavor seemed a bit odd and weren’t really my thing.

Jun 28, 2009 Pours a crystal clear golden orange color with a small lasting white head. Big grapefruit juice aroma with pale malt, a little honey, maybe tangerine. Flavor is grapefruity and citric acidic with a boozy hoppy sharpness. Herbal in the finish with a disappointingly moderate bitterness. The alcohol helps evaporate the beer from the palate, leaving an astringent aftertaste. Doesn’t really live up to the Hop Juice moniker.

Jun 14, 2009 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 13 June 2009) Amber colour with brief, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, citrus, pine needles and marzipan. Fruity, malty taste with orange peel, caramel, sweet malt and lots of pine needles in a really hoppy finish. Full body, fairly sweet. Grerat balance between all the piney hops and the malt. Great beer.

Jun 14, 2009 Pours a nice reddish-gold with respectable foamy head. Aroma is all over the place pungent hops. Being a bit hod sensitive, it almost makes me nervous to drink. Light, piney taste initially, followed by the mellow finish. Bitterness is everpresent, but doesn’t make it hard it drink. It’s decent, but I wouldn’t skip other beers to get to it.
