Commercial Description:
As with the first twelve Hop Projects, we used a different blend of hops for this one. For all you hop enthusiasts out there, the hops we used were: Galena and First Gold for first wort bittering; Cascade, Apollo, and First Gold at thirty minutes for flavor; Simcoe and Amarillo at five minutes left for aroma; and finally, we dry hopped the beer at day four of fermentation with Galena and Cascade.

Source: 12 oz bottle purchased from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville.
Appearance: Poured a clear amber/orange color with a two finger, slightly off white head.
Aroma: All about the hops. Notes of grapefruit and pine dominate.
Flavor: A little bit of weak caramel malt. Pine and citrus hops and a citrus finish.
Palate: Medium body with a slick mouthfeel and solid carbonation.
Overall: I’m always pleased with the Hop Project beers. This one is no different, although not my favorite of the bunch. Very solid IPA though.

Bottle at the ’09 Fish Fry. Pours bubbly copper with nice offwhite head. The aroma is floral and fruity hops and light caramel. The flavor is cotton candy, grapefruit, peach. Even bitterness throughout. This is pretty tasty.

Clear golden copper, nice fluffy head. Nice aroma - grapefruit like #12, but more spicy, too. Flavor is mostly grapefrui and pine, with dry, crisp finish.

Bottle pours a golden amber body with a lacing, off-white head. Smells of cotton candy and citrus hops. Flavors include citrus and spicy with some honey. Finish is bitter with some sweetness.

(draft at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition) Orange amber with white head. Huge pine/citrus hops aroma. Flavor is pine and citrus hops (and more hops) - a bit unbalanced.

Bottle in Nashville less than a week old. Really nice, easy drinking IPA. Both the flavour and aroma remind me of pink grapefruit juice that starts sweet and leaves bitterness on your tongue.

Bottle from Midtown. Fresh off the truck and Nashville’s first bottled IPA (at least for me). Pours orange amber with a slight haze and a two finger off white, very pale yellow head- webby lacing. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Very nice floral hops and grapefruit aroma, with more caramelly malts coming out as it warms. Medium bodied, but lighter in the mouthfeel getting very close to watery on the finish. The malt profile is a tame blend of caramel, biscuit, and tea while the countering aggressive bitterness gives off flavors of orange and grapefruit rind. The attenuation is average, perhaps a bit more than I prefer as more sweetness may make this more "juicy." Dry and hoppy finish with lingering pine and resin. Overall a very nice IPA
