The Hop Concept Hop Freshener Series: Tropical & Juicy

Brewed with Grapefruit Juice. Aromas of floral citrus and mango dominate this release. While the flavor leads with a burst of bright papaya, pineapple and tangerine, and finishes with hints of spice from the hops and a clean, sweet malt undertone.

4.0 12th January 2019 Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, sweetish. Hops bring smooth pine and bitterish orange peel, slightly tangy. Bitter grapefruit as well. Touch of fresher orange on the end. Whisper of tropical fruits. Spicy bitterish linger. Possibly not the freshest bottle but there is still a big satisfying hop whack here. Certainly better than the disappointing New Hop Smell. 16th March 2019 Can. Fresher methinks. No change in fundamental character, just more juicy and intense. Good stuff!

3.9 Fairly clear golden orange in color... Aroma of papaya, mango, grapefruit, tropical fruit... Flavor of tropical fruits, grapefruit, resiny citrus and dank hops... Fairly dry finish. Tasty

3.6 Bottle: Dirty orange, thick, large foamy sandy head, nice lacing. Bright nose, but first thing noticed is slight alcohol. Otherwise slight pine, citrus, with very soft fruitiness. Seems more citrus and pine than "Tropical & Juicy". More bitterness and less sweetness than expected. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Strong pithy bitterness on the backside. More pith and peel than I expected. Good, but not as rich and sweet as I thought it would be based on the name.

3.8 Pours clear amber with low white head. Aroma of pine, citrus, lime, passion fruit, mango. Taste is juicy sweet up front, mild resinous finish. Light and smooth body with soft carbonation.

3.5 Bottle pour. Clear copper color. Mango aroma. Strong hop bitterness that finishes with sweetness of pineapple.

3.6 Draught at the brewery. Pours clear orange with a medium, frothy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Moderate grapefruit, medium papaya and pine hops and bitterness with sweet biscuit malt and a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation.

3.9 65 cl bottle. No freshness info. Pours clear golden color with a large white head. Bursting hops on the nose, pine, grapefruit, orange and some malt notes, lots of resin too. The name of the brew pretty much encapsulates the flavor; super juicy with tropical fruits like mango and passion fruit, some orange and citrus crispness, hops feel quite fresh too, strong bitterness, resin and caramel notes on the lingering bitter aftertaste, kind of oily palate left behind by the hops. Very refreshing and juicy yet crisp bitter brew. Excellent. 4616

3.8 22 oz bottle. Unclear orange color with an off white head. Aroma is heavy dank / weed. One of the most dank aromas I can recall actually. There's some grapefruit and other tropical notes underneath. Drinks fruity and a little bitter. Pretty good dank IPA. I don't think I'd have named Tropical and Juicy though.

3.9 Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly juicy and papaya and citrus. Med body at least. Flavor is juicy, bitter, citrus, papaya and maybe some pineapple acidity. Lots going on here. Nice level of malt support. Going bitter grapefruit as time goes on. Maybe that was the acidity. Very tasty stuff.

3.9 Draft at Cork & Cask. Clear golden color. Light fruit aroma. Taste is really nice bittersweet resiny fruit.

3.4 0,7 litre Bottle from BevMo Oceanside. Golden with little white head. Tropical aroma. Too much bitterness for my liking.

3.7 GG, Seattle. Thick foam on a rich, dark orange. Classic, pretty IPA appearance. Rich, juicy perfume with an earthy pine resin edge. Mouth watering juicy hops. Finely put together and delicious. Quenching, easy to drink. Mint-edged hop finish with stronger, slightly sweet, malt backend. Solid.
