Hop Ottin IPA

Pros: Citrus hop flavor; Rocky head of foam; Aftertaste of hops
Cons: None!

Sometimes, the taste of a smooth, easy- drinking beer hits the spot. After a long day at work, for example, or after partaking in a physically- demanding chore or sport, a good, easy- drinking brew can prove to be just what the doctor ordered. A smooth, ...

Pros: Intensely hoppy, delicious, neat label
Cons: None come to mind

I like juice. In the morning, there’s nothing like a fresh glass of orange or grapefruit juice to start my day. As a snack, a glass of chilled tomato juice with a little salt and pepper really hits the spot. My favorite juice, however, is best consumed...

Pros: Spectacular hoppy beer
Cons: not for the meek

CNN is on the tube and we still don't have a president elect. I'm not sure if I want either of the candidates to win. Rather than spoil my lunch with politics I'm going to flip the channel and pour myself a good hoppy beer.

I cast my...

Pros: Strong citrus hop, refreshing and crisp
Cons: Not for those who don't like a bitter hop

Starting out in 1987, on the lower level of a brewpub, Anderson Valley’s brewing capacity was a mere 10 barrels. This brewery has recently been growing in stature and demand caused the construction of a new facility in 1996, which has also since been...

Pros: Really, REALLY hoppy!
Cons: Really, REALLY hoppy! [not a typo!]

The first time I had Hop Ottin' I breathed deep. YOW! It felt like a deli meat slicer ripping right into my nose: painfully hoppy. Naturally, I took another whiff. Oh, my, powerful pine and citrus aromas, slice me again! The taste and accompanying...

Pros: Great with spicy foods
Cons: Overpowering for some

Hop Ottin' IPA is a wildly hoppy brew that snaps your head back with the first taste. Only in America can you find an ale that is hopped to this level. The nose is very aromatic because of the hop content and so the pleasure begins before the first sip....

Pros: Very well made beer
Cons: None

Anderson Valley has long been recognized as one of the great breweries in the world, and is truly a benchmark for quality and variety among microbreweries. Until the wide release of Hop Ottin' IPA a few years ago, however, they did not have a product...

Pros: Great Brewery
Cons: Way, way too hoppy

Anderson Valley's Hop Ottin' is off the charts with the hops. This IPA is out of balance, excessively hoppy, leaving an extremely bitter, astringent, taste in the mouth. It is slightly darker than most American IPA's, leaning more toward the color of...

Pros: Hops, body, and full flavor.
Cons: None

This is simply one of the world's best beers.

I've been drinking the AV IPA ever since the first batch Anderson Valley brewed in their brewpub in March 1995. This is a VERY hoppy IPA and a fairly high alcohol content, 7%. IPAs are my favorite...

Pros: 7% alcohol, great flavor
Cons: Not the hops I was hoping for & $8.50 a six pack...

This is a tasty beer and one of my favorites, I was expecting a little more hop, but there is alot of kick in this bottle. Hop heads should enjoy the over average hopping this ale recived, It's one of the finest IPA that you can find in a bottle...

Pros: Hoppy, malty, lot's of bite!
Cons: None

As a hop head I would like to note that Anderson Valley's IPA is one of the best blended hop and malt beverages on the market. As a home brewer and an employee at a home brew supply retailer, I get my share of India Pale Ale's, Hop Ottin has to be...

Pros: None.
Cons: Bitter taste, slightly acidic/astringent.

I must agree with another reviewer while reviewing this product that the taste of this beer contains the overarching blast of too many hops:)

My tongue nearly jumped out of my mouth when tasting this. I agree that the name and the branding...
