Brewed under "Hip Hop IPA". Copper-amber pour with a huge head and nice spiderlace. Very nice grapefruit and pine resin nose. Flavors of pine bitters, grapefruit and just a touch of sweet malt. The body feels a bit thin, not watery, but not enough to support the balance between flavor offerings and the lingering bitter peppery pine finish. Overall, a good IPA, but with a bit larger body, would be a contender for one of the best! Nice brew.

(draft @ Outer Banks Brewing Station - Kill Devil Hills, NC) Poured a nice cipper color with a decent sized white head. Strong hoppy and peppery aroma with a slight sweet and citrus flavor underneath. Very good hoppy taste at the beginning that mixes into a slightly citrus flavor and a nice hop and pepper finish. Reminds me of Victory Hop Devil. Very good IPA.

Coppery red appearance with good head. Hoppy nose. Excellent malty flavor, with strong hop-grass-citrous aftertaste. Darker than I expect an IPA to be, but wonderful beer.

Not currently called "Hop Monster" I don't believe, I just saw it as "IPA." A nice light golden color, a bit hazy, really quite appropriate for a traditional IPA. American versions of the style tend to be a bit too dark in appearance. In any case, suprisingly little aroma for what followed flavorwise. Malty, yet crisply balanced hops, fruity rather than bitter on the end. Very nice.

Too light of a color for an IPA, very light straw almost golden in color, pretty decent head, well carbonated, loaded with hops, left a little too spicy of an aftertaste which hung around a little longer than needed, but not too bad of an IPA
