Apr 18, 2009 12 oz bottle-Bonus beer from a trade, but I’m not sure from who! Orange color w/o much head. Pine hop aroma. One dementional hop bomb, hops on the front, in the middle, & @ the end. I know some people like these, but I just don’t get them. Long, dry, hop finish; I wouldn’t drink this again

Mar 7, 2009 In short: An bland juicy pale ale (called an ipa) with no personality.
How: Bottle 12oz (as Opa-Opa Hop Express). Consumed very fresh a few days after purchase
The look: Partly cloudy golden body topped by a small persistent white head
In long: Shy nose of floral and citrusy hops. Light body with some caramel, wet bread and some biscuits. Hops bring a over-ripe citrus fruits and lots of fresh green grass feeling without much bitterness. Finish is juicy. This is a juicy beer with such a light malt backbone that to me it is more a Pale Ale than an IPA. No malt backbone/sweetness and no hops bitterness, but hey! on the positive side it is well balanced.

Feb 20, 2009 Growler. Pours a rusty orange with a minimal head. Aroma of stale hops, vegtables and caramel/toffee. Bitter old hop flavor and some cereal grains. Nothing good about this other then a quick rating.

Feb 9, 2009 I picked up this "Hop Express" beer in Massachusetts at my cousin’s wedding.It is a smooth but potent hoppy-flavored brew, but not unique or overbearing. The bottle is cool looking, but I’ve never seen this beer anywhere else.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours murky brown-blond with a clear body and average head. Aroma, however, is quite pleasant: brightly floral, with grapefruit and soap. Flavor matches aroma: nice hoppy character throughout, malt plays second fiddle in this brew, allowing for a crisp and refreshing bitterness. A surprisingly tasty beer.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle picked up in Hartford. Pours a nice light amber color with a thick white head. Big citrus and pine aroma, quite nice. The taste is lots o hop bitterness with grapefruit and some grassiness and a little malt peaking through. Nice little IPA.

Dec 15, 2008 Draught @ Brewpub: This one pours a clear, slightly orange amber color. Mine had no head on it at all. The aroma is mainly grapefruit hops. A faint bit of malts coming through. The taste was along similar lines. Mainly grapefruity hop flavor, with a decent bite. Pretty well balanced with a good malt backbone to it. Some maltiness comes through. Pretty decent.
