Left Coast Brewing - Hop Juice
Hop Juice is a 9.7% ABV American Double India Pale Ale from Left Coast Brewing Company out of San Clemente, CA.
This Double IPA pours a hazy golden/honey orange with 1 finger off-white head. The head fades moderately leaving decent retention and light lacing.
Hop Juice smells of toasted malt, biscuit/bread, and grapefruit citrus. There are also light notes of tropical fruit and pine.
The taste on this DIPA is mostly toasted malt with big hops and bitter grapefruit. There are also light notes of pine and biscuit/bread. Medium bodied with a pretty dry finish. The hops and alcohol seem to overtake most of the other flavors in the beer.
Left Coast's Hop Juice is a solid Double IPA that delivers the hops. I would have liked more balance in the taste but it was still an enjoyable brew.
Score: 3.5/5 (Untappd Caps)
