Commercial Description:
Hop Juice is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This one is a real hop blast, dripping with the resiny soul of fresh Northwest hops. Don't come crying to us if it's too much for you; this one's for hopheads only! And get it now, cause when it's gone, it's gone. Boo hoo. 22.7 Plato 100.1 IBU

Pours a dark gold in color. Only a little bit of head forms atop the beer. Smell is subtle hops and a ton of malt. Taste is much the same. I don’t know when this was bottled, but I just bought it yesterday. This is all malt, all the time. Medium body on the mouthfeel. I was expecting something different and alot more hops.

Bomber, pours a clear orange/copper color with a moderate white head, minimal lacing. Aroma is pine, orange peel, and caramel. Flavor is certainly hoppy, with a solid malt backbone, but nothing too exciting. The alcohol is well hidden, and there is a lingering bitterness that is pleasant. Agree with a lot of comments here - average...

There’s something to be said for the head on a beer. Beer without a nice foamy head is barely recognizable as beer. This beer has no head atop the nearly opaque bronze/orange body. Smell is more mild than other DoubleIPAs, plenty of hops, but notes of flowers and pine. Flavor is anything but mild, strong lemony citrus flavor, pine, grapefruit with a touch of malt and caramel at the end. Finish is lasting bitterness and the high alcohol hits you hard. I expected more of the resin the description offers, but all in all, it was an above average IIPA.

22 oz bomber thanks to Pete...Orangeish in color. One of those caramel-syrupy, orange juice like IPA’s. No thanks on this one... no bite and nothing to get excited about at all.

(bottle from archer)clear orange with alittle white head that leaves nice webbing on the snifter glass.i pick up some pine and lemon in the aroma but is more dominated by cotton candy and caramel malt.flavor is of pine,lemon,orange,cotton candy,and caramel malt.sorry but the hops need to be kicked up or this is an older bottle.

22oz bottle via homebrew Mystery swap..thanks Xnoxhatex!. Pours a hazy copper with an average size beige head. Nose is pure citrus hopiness.and then some! It tastes almost like smells but has a VERY DRY finish...and lots of grapefruit in the aftertaste.but again it is dry not sweet n juicy. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate/high. Quite good, but needs more flavor/dry hops to be GREAT......

Pours a brownish orange. Minimal head. Perfumed nose with mild citrus tones. Flavor is syrup like with hop character, of course. More of a bark like thing going on than anything else. This doesn’t carry the mass of citrus that other DIPAs do. Feels nice on the mouth, though a bit syrup like and sticky. This is a pretty nice DIPA. Certainly isn’t bringing a huge amount of character, but is smooth and nice to drink.

Pours ruby with a thin film of off-white head. Overpowering citrus and hop aromas. Starts off light and sweet, and ends with a strong hoppy bitterness. Very strong hop flavor, and a surprisingly well masked alcohol throughout. If you like hops, you’ll LOVE this beer.
