Commercial Description:
The fabled Hop-a-lot-amus is a mythical creature. The heavy hop character of this Double IPA is as subtle as a "river horse" in your lap, but finishes like a hippo in a tutu. Enjoy! 93 IBUs

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. The look is clear, golden in color, and has a white head. The smell is alcohol, caramel, and hops. The taste is hops, some bitterness, and ok.

Amber pour with a big loose off white head. Aroma is big citrus hop notes, some pine in the back and a good malt backbone. Flavor isa little on the harsh side, kind of astringent and a little chemical, but not terrible. The hops are present for sure and nicely balanced by the malt. Just a weird little undercurrent of something almost chemical.

Bottle from jessup plaza. poured a light amber pour with a nice off white head. aroma is of light hops with some malt sweetness. First taste is somewhat lax on the hops but then the taste comes back at the end. Mouthfeel is not that great. but flavor is not too bad.

amber pour with a moderate body that is refreshing, sudsy and tangy with touch of soap. strong enough and slightly harsh ipa flavor of grapefruit rind. seems less in the alcohol than admitted. nice aroma of the hops with a flavor of greenstick vine in accompanyment. a hop imbibers elixer and a winner at that! good hearty burp.

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a nice white head. The aroma was pine, floral, sweet malts and hops. The flavor was actually very smooth and malty. The Hops were strong but well hidden. Overall, a tasty brew.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep amber pour. Thick white head. The nose is an odd resiny honeyed sweetness. Sort of muddy and indistinctly hoppy. A fairly sweet maltiness with a bit of light bitterness. It tastes like a lot of other crappy IIPAs… honey-sweet and muddle hops do not a great beer make.
