Commercial Description:
A complex malt and hop theme park in your mouth
Named after the hop flower Humulus Lupulus, this India Pale Ale style beer has enormous amounts of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. With a very complex malt bill, flavors seem to meld with the hops to balance this ale and provide a ridiculous urge to sample more.

no head, orange unfiltered body, citrus hop nose, stinks of centennial, dry spicy bitters and bright hop flavors, pretty decent IPA

Mmmmm, delicious hoppy aroma. Nice and grape fruity with an obvious malt back bone. Flavour seems to be less hoppy than the taste would let on, kind of has a PNW feel to it without a ton of bittnerness. Great o drink, and easy, too!

Appears cloudy but bubbly in my Sam Adams Sensory glass. Not much in the way of head or retention. Apple cider look. Smells very fruity. Excuse my smell sense, I haven’t reviewed in a while so I can’t get much more specific than that. It is an enticing smell. Taste is a bit subdued compared to the smell, definitely some bitterness and a good taste, just a bit more mild than I would prefer. Mouth is thin and bubbly, a good mix, though I have been shown a thicker IPA and it was damn good. Another goodie from Shorts.

Smells of citrus and hops. The flavor starts well with a strong, hop and citrus taste. It tapers a little off at the end but is certainly not watery. Overall a good IPA.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a pretty amber with a nice strong citrus hop nose. Flavor is bitter citrus hops all along. Pretty good with a lingering finish.

Bottle courtesy of Milos, thanks buddy! Pours a hazy shade of peach, with a thin ring of white foam. The aroma here is all hops. The dry hopping has done wonders here. Lots of pine and spruce, like being in a boreal forest, some biscuit, quite floral, loads of spice too. Flavour is one dimensional and I love it. Hops, hops, hops. Pine and grapefruit, peppery floral flavours too. A bit of tropical fruit sweetness towards the end. Dry and hoppy finish. Excellent stuff. Thanks Milos!

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub then again at Ashley’s in Anne Arbour. Cloudy grapefruit with a white head. Good hoppy aroma, very good bitterness. Served cold. Lots of lace. Creamy mouthfeel but still bitterness in the mouth.
