Left Coast Hop Juice Double IPA







Left Coast Brewing Company
Hop Juice Double IPA
San Clemente, CA
10/11/2013, on tap at Frisco Tap House, 9.7 abv

Smell

Great aroma of pine and grapefruit.

Appearance

Slightly hazy amber-orange with a small head and moderate carbonation.

Taste

Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with sweet citrus up front and a touch of resiny pine bitterness on the finish. The 9.7 abv is almost undetectable, making this rather dangerous. With a name like Hop Juice, it was much more balanced than I expected, but make no mistake, the hops dominate.

Comments

I enjoyed this DIPA a lot. I don't see many Left Coast offerings here on the right coast, so I was glad I had the opportunity to try this one.
