Year of New Beer: Hop Hunter IPA, Sierra Nevada Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 06/12/2015

Finally getting around to trying this one, and I was a bit concerned that its age might negatively affect the hop punch...no worries. The nose is loaded with a combination of citrus and pine, leaning ever so slightly to leafy vegetal. On the tongue the bitterness is fairly strong, with the oils being a little resinous. Mildly sweet malt backbone holds the bitterness in check through the finish. Good, not great.
