Hoppin Frog Hoppin to Heaven IPA

4.3/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

22 ounce bottle, very fresh bottle, picked it up at the brewery. Pours cloudy orange amber color with a dense 2 finger off white head with incredible retention that reduces to a lacing cap. Some very nice lacing coats the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, caramel, pine, and spices. Pretty typical IPA aromas here, very nicely balanced. Taste of tons of orange, grapefruit, and pine; with spiciness and caramel as well. Fairly strong bitterness on the finish that lingers with citrus and pine flavors. Very nice balance, with bitterness being more prominent. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied. No alcohol noticed on the taste or finish. Overall, an outstanding IPA, I always enjoy a nice hop forward IPA any time.

A fantastic IPA, especially fresh as it was. I would probably still highly enjoy it with a little age on it as well, nice and hoppy.
